Edge is syncing devtools size across tabs

Question

I have an issue with the devtools that has come about only recently, probably from a new update. When I have devtools open on 2 tabs, their sizes are synced. So for example my monitor is 1920px and I open the devtool docked to the right and drag the edge of it to the left such that the website viewport becomes 400px. On another tab I have the same site open but here I want the devtools to be open such that the website viewport is around 1200px. But the viewport is 400px. If I drag devtools to the right to expand it to 1200, the first tab's devtools also moves!

This didn't happen before. I want them both to be on different positions. I understand why you would sync it but please give an option in the settings to turn it off or suggest a workaround.

Hi @Vipul Kapoor,

Sounds like you are using Edge Dev or Canary channel, as I can successfully reproduce it on Dev and Canary channel. However, it is not reproducible on Stable and Beta channel.

So, this update is currently only landing on Dev and Canary. Before the Edge Dev Team provides an option to change it, please use Edge Stable or Beta channel instead as a workaround.

You can also send feedback or open an issue on DevTools repo to report this problem to the Dev Team. Thank you for your support.
