jsfiddle js panel size is stuck! How do I reset it?

Question

Image says it all I think: jsfiddle panel stuck size

The draggable for resizing the js/html panels is gone and that js pane is too small! The big problem is that this issue persists after restarting my browser, clearing the cache, and deleting cookies. How do I reset this so I can use jsfiddle again?

I'm not suggesting it's "off-topic," but the jsFiddle guys are pretty good at responding to tweets, @jsfiddle, over on Twitter. — David Thomas, Jun 24 '14 at 13:58
thanks for the tip! I'll head over there if this goes unanswered for a little while. — 7yl4r, Jun 24 '14 at 14:00
If they respond, from memory it can take a day or so, do consider posting their response as an answer to the question (if they don't themselves answer here). — David Thomas, Jun 24 '14 at 14:04

This is the kinda crap that and makes me question my love of coding. Thank you. – Squirrl Nov 03 '14 at 17:01

This also helps if you've accidentally dragged the vertical middle bar too far to the right, and can't drag it back left. – LazerSharks May 30 '15 at 21:39
Excellent - had the same problem! Worked – Rob Scott Jun 11 '15 at 11:46
Thank you so much! – John Slegers Mar 27 '16 at 14:12

What to do when you actually run `Layout.setWindowSizes(null)`, but the console ends up with showing this the following error message `Uncaught ReferenceError: Layout is not defined(…)`? – Gargaroz Jun 28 '16 at 08:42
Same here. This solution not working anymore - is there any other workaround? – llamerr Jul 19 '16 at 14:36
Nevermind, it's still working, I just selected wrong context in console. – llamerr Jul 19 '16 at 14:50

@Gargaroz @llamerr In the console, select `top` as the context and it will work. I believe the problem is with running this under the context of adblock. – tim-phillips Aug 04 '16 at 00:02
@Rohmer, what do you mean by select `top` ? – Aurimas Aug 08 '16 at 09:27

@Aurimas go to chrome developer tools console, in the upper left there is a dropdown select menu. Choose `top`. – tim-phillips Aug 08 '16 at 23:21
while this brings back the drag line, but then immediately jumps back to unusable state, when I try to resize the JS container. – Legends Mar 13 '17 at 13:44
This solved the issue thanks!Was driving me crazy. Very poor show that this can't be achieved from the UI though. – mikeym May 04 '17 at 22:43
There should be a button or something with that function, so annoying. – T4rk1n Jul 19 '17 at 15:27
True that. I was stuck as well. – Sid Sep 04 '17 at 14:03
Got thrown off by the 'console' - Didn't realize this was the Browser Console in Chrome or IE. This works like a charm but can it be done as an option under the settings drop down ? Would love to see it there. – Jersey_Guy Oct 25 '17 at 13:35

As of December 6, 2018, the current answer to this question no longer works due to a rewrite of the JsFiddle site that happened sometime in June/July of 2018.

Press F12 to open DevTools (Chrome) or Debugger (Firefox, Edge).
Navigate to "Application" in Chrome DevTools, or "Storage in Firefox/Edge Debugger.
Find "Local Storage".
Find www.jsfiddle.net.
Delete any entries/keys labeled as grid_*-split-sizes (eg. grid_1-split-sizes, grid_2-split-sizes, grid_3-split-sizes).
Refresh jsfiddle.net webpage.
