Is there a way to keep the call stack panel collapsed in chrome dev tools? It expands every time i hit a breakpoint forcing me to scroll down to the scope. This makes debugging very slow and at times infuriating.

Thanks /Eric

  • It's hardcoded in [devtools source code](https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/Source/devtools/front_end/sources/CallStackSidebarPane.js?sq=package:chromium&dr=C&l=120). You can complain on https://crbug.com and link the bug report here, also you can write a one-line patcher for resources.pak to disable the behavior. – wOxxOm Nov 01 '16 at 10:46

    This bug has been logged [here](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=656109) and [here](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=661293). Hopefully they'll get it fixed soon. – peregrination Nov 10 '16 at 15:12
  • +100 for the questions. It is sooo annoying. How could only those Chrome devs make such a trash with open Call Stack tab. – Green Dec 07 '16 at 01:22

That was definitely a bug in Chrome.
It has been fixed in this commit as of 3rd of December 2016

[DevTools] Don't expand CallStackSidebarPane on pause if it was collapsed

BUG=656109

Should land in Canary soonish :-)

    How about not Canary version? – Green Dec 07 '16 at 01:23
  • If it's a part of a minor release (which I think it is) it should take up to 2 weeks from today, otherwise up to 5 weeks ([ref](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel)). – Dan Mindru Dec 07 '16 at 23:07
