Chrome devtool console drawer showing automatically
Answer was found here : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36159780/drawer-panel-keeps-showing-up-on-refresh
I had to:
- Uncheck "Enable JavaScript source maps"
- Uncheck "Enable CSS source maps"
in the devtools settings (F1 key while devtools is opened, or click the three dots button in the devtools window). It seems to be a bug in Chrome related to source maps.
I had accidentally enabled Open Devtools window and ... . Unchecking that fixed this issue for me.
