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:

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.)

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:

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.
Until recently when I have the dev-tools open in Chrome, a little window-size display would appear in the top-corner of the window. This has now stopped appearing. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to get it back?
I have a feeling that Chrome may have updated recently as I know notice a .cls button in the styles tab when using the element inspector. Am now on Version 49.0.2623.87 m (I have seen there was an update on the 8th March)
Thanks
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.
I know this question may not fit well here but this really is driving me crazy for few hours now :( I use chrome to simulate how websites look on different mobile devices. I clicked something wrong that led to a grid with rulers to appear. I don't know WTF to do to disable this grid. This is the screenshot:
I uninstalled and reinstalled the browser and it returns back.
I reset the developer tools to default settings and it's still there.
This is really becoming a nightmare for me for few hours now. I want the regular emulation without these rulers and grid and top bar. Thanks
There is a small blue button on the left of Elements which actually does the magic.
You didn't click anything wrong. Your Chrome updated itself to 38.2125 and the emulator now has those attributes. Further more, the touch function is broken.
To fix the problem, download the "Canary" version of Chrome. You're still required to see the grid, but the screen is improved and easier to see your layout. Also, the touch function is fixed.
Get Chrome Canary here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/canary.html
That button just enables/disables the emulator. The OP is looking for a way to disable the background grid while emulating mobile devices.
If you're looking to disable the multi-colored grid lines that show up as an overlay, check out the console dock on the bottom of dev tools. There is a tab labeled rendering and try disabling "Show composited layer borders". If you're still seeing the rulers, that setting is in the Settings (gear) of dev tools, there is an option under the Elements heading for "Show rulers".
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...
