It may sound silly but all of a sudden I have no window dimensions box in the top right corner of the inspector and I cannot turn it on.
What I mean is:
(picture comes from another topic on stackoverflow)
Would appreciate your help!
We noticed the same here in our office, but it has nothing to do with your browser configuration. In fact, you can test this by resetting it in the setting panel.
There's nothing about this on Google's Chrome dev blog, so either they dropped the feature or it's bugged, but we can only wait for Google to fix it.
Someone has opened a issue for this over at bugs.chromium.org (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=591718)
Head on over there and star it so it gets more attention and hopefully a quick fix.
#dandy I took the liberty of adding your screenshot to that issue.

I recognized this Bug on several Pages occurring in Chromium related browsers. I opened up a Chromium Issue, where the project members could not reproduce the problem - I am trying to figure out why this is happening (since the Problem occurs on Pages as like google.com, amazon.com, and so on, on several Mac-OS devices, which have nothing else in common) - we tried it on a clean Chrome installation, where The Problem is also occurring. To me it seems to be a bug - now I'd like to know if other people are also not able to reproduce. If you can reproduce (to reproduce read the following lines below) and/or find something new/interesting about the problem consider supporting the Ticket/Chromium Issue.
Chrome Version
91.0.4472.101 (Offizieller Build) (x86_64)
URLs tested
https://www.google.de/
https://www.microsoft.com/de-de
https://www.amazon.de/
Other browsers tested
Safari: hasn't the problem
Firefox: hasn't the problem
Edge: has the same issue (also Chromium based)
Chrome Canary: has the same issue (also Chromium based)
How to reproduce the problem?
Refresh Page (Command+Shift+R) and Scroll upwards while page is loading or in parallel (you have to be quick to reproduce).
What is the expected result?
Expectedly the Page should not over-scroll and stop at the pages top/end instead the page can be scrolled infinite above the pages top, same issue appears by scrolling down, where scrolling should stop at the bottom of the page.
What happens instead?
Browser keeps scrolling above the pages top/bottom infinitively. Once triggered the infinite scrolling wont disappear, even after refreshing the page - the only way to change the behavior is to copy the url and paste it within a new tab.
Small update: it seems like the problem appears when using a logitech mx master mouse (if you run into the problem when not using this specific model, let the chrome people know) - it looks like it can be solved by following steps:
Open a terminal window.
Type in the following command then hit enter:
defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding -bool false
Source: https://www.computerworld.com/article/2726533/turn-off-elastic-scrolling-in-os-x.html
Hopefully they'll fix the problem in chrome itself, until then this should solve the problem.
Update: See Irgend Son Hansel answer
I don't think there's an official fix currently, but what I do when this bug comes up is to simply click the scroll bar. It usually fixes it for a while before it comes back up again.
I am not entirely sure what the OP is asking but I assume they are looking for a fix or a workaround for this?
I occasionally experience the same on my MacOS machine. For me, refreshing page does not work. What I do is the following:
copy url of the current page
open new tab and navigate to the same url
close old tab
Does anyone else have the problem that since yesterday in Chrome the dimensions of the browserwindow aren't shown anymore?
Could this come from an Chrome Update or is it a problem only of my browser?
I find this issue to. Because I use it every day it's critical for me. This may help you:
https://gist.github.com/mrpapercut/7a004210306b62dcf813
But I think it's just a f***up and they roll back it soon.
In version 48.0.2564.116 the dimensions are shown in the page only while I am actively resizing the window with the developer tools open -- they disappear after a short delay. Version 49.0.2623.87 (current as I post this) removes this tooltip.
You can force the dimensions to be visible at all times by turning on "Device Mode" (the iPhone-looking button second from the left in the developer toolbar.)
The HTML and CSS are rather large so I can't pinpoint the issue or post a good example. When I toggle through my UI, the css styling seems to break, the most jarring of which is that the background changes to grey. I was wondering if anyone encountered similar issues. Here are some of the conditions for me.
-Chrome: Firefox & Safari working fine
-Small Screen: Problem doesn't occur on larger monitors
-Toggling developer console on and off fixes the issue
It's difficult to try and pinpoint the issue without seeing some code or even a fiddle, but when you open the inspector the page is resizing, and so redrawing (at least some of) the elements. It's also possible that there's a cache issue - I believe by default when you open the inspector the cache is disabled and so all css and scripts are downloaded again. That said, if you aren't refreshing the page it with the inspector open its unlikely to be that.
My money would be on the window effectively resizing when you open the inspector, and so some (if not all) elements are forced the redraw and thus re-evelauate their styles.
Maybe you could use Chrome's timeline to check what is being painted as time goes by. Try running that and opening the inspector while its active to try and see whats going on.
Looks like a long standing bug (years) with webkit:
How can I force WebKit to redraw/repaint to propagate style changes?
The solution that appeals to me is:
$('#body').hide().show(0); from Force DOM redraw/refresh on Chrome/Mac
to force a redraw.
So I was using Chrome and IE together when all of a sudden Chrome decides to change its zoom level not only for the webpage, but the entire browser. I'm not sure if it happened when I restarted Chrome or if it happened when I decided to bring it to the front. So basically, all menu items, logos, icons, absolutely everything appears to have been zoomed in slightly. I have restored to original settings, disabled extensions (I don't use any extensions anyways), uninstalled and reinstalled, and nothing.
I've used the DPI settings in the properties of the Chrome application and nothing changes it. I've changed scaling in Windows and nothing helps.
Everything is larger in Chrome now and it's driving me crazy. Many menu items won't appear fully because of this. Note that this isn't just at the webpage level but at the entire browser level. I've included some images so you can compare. If you look at the youtube homepage, you'll see that everything is larger in Chrome than it is in Internet Explorer.
Scratch that apparently I need reputation in order to post pictures, ugh. If I can get 10 rep soon I'll post some pics.
I'm sorry if my description is rather vague but this isn't something I could search up. No other programs (including IE) are having this issue. THanks very much in advance if anyone can help. This is just driving me crazy.
No, Ctrl + 0 obviously does not work. This is an issue with the program as the entire program looks zoomed in. Everything, not just the webpage.
Found a "quick fix" solution from post #38 here:
Right click on the Chrome link on your desktop
Choose Properties and then add " /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1" to the existing Link to your path to chrome.exe.
Hope this works permanently. What a hassle.
If you're experiencing a "zoomed in" browser it's because you have an updated version of Chrome. Chrome and FireFox now adjusts the page zoom level according to your Windows settings to better support high DPI displays. For example, if Windows is set to 125% font size (120dpi), the content area will be zoomed by 25%. This is usually the default setting on your computer.
This means that your updated Chrome and/or FireFox browser will automatically set websites to 125%, and all other browsers remain at 100%.
What are possible solutions?
As of this writing, their isn't a known method of fixing this from a web coding standpoint, due to that it's created from the inner workings of the browser. That being said, their are still some things you can do from the "users" side to fix this:
The quickest way around this is to open up your browser and press on your keyboard "ctrl -" (control minus) twice. This will set your website content to 75%, which would be equivalent to 100% in all other browsers (but this will just fix the website content).
You can set your computers font-size settings in your control panel to "100%". This will make all of your computer fonts smaller.
I'm sure their is a better answer to this, but for now these are the 2 options that I'm seeing. In FireFox version 22 they also added this feature (as mentioned above), you can see the work around for FireFox here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962979
I'm sure a similar solution also exist with Chrome.
You can change your windows default zoom to 100% in display settings and make everything almost unreadable, or (a better way)
You can add a start parameter to your chrome shortcut:
"your-chrome-dir\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
I know, it's too late, but just in case someone else has this problem...
after visiting a website for a long time, and leaving another open during that time, it seems that the layout of the first, appears on the second. It happens mainly when using chrome, but once the issue appears on chrome, it is as if it stays in memory, and happens in firefox too. I read about memory leaks, but I am not sure that this is the issue, and if I am the only one that has it. I mainly see it happening on the website that I am working on which is why it is an issue, but it happens on the black bars of facebook, and another website called jeuxvideo.com . (This is the template my website uses: http://themes.alessioatzeni.com/html/brushed/).
Here is an image showing the issue, where the layout of youtube overlays another website (the transparent grid you can see over the rest of the website):

Is this a bug with chrome? Because I have looked everywhere and it doesn't seem that anyone else has this issue, or maybe it is just my computer?
This is probably image persistence, where the colours in the monitor get "stuck" temporarily after being on or off for a long time. The fix would be to upgrade the monitor.
You could confirm this by taking a screenshot while the problem is happening. If you don't see it in the screen shot (try moving the screenshot around the monitor when you see the problem, do the affected areas of the screen move too? or are the artefacts stuck in place?) then the problem is with the hardware.
