Problem with mouse in devtools - can not set cursor position in highlighted id, css, and other attributes

[Scot Ranney]

This has been happening for about a week now. If I open up devtools and then double click on a class, id, or some other attribute, it gets highlighted as expected.

However, when I click in the highlighted area to set my cursor position for editing, there is no effect. It completely ignores the mouse click and I'm forced to use my keyboard cursor keys which places the cursor at the beginning or end of the string rather than the spot I want it. It's not just my mouse, I tried using the touchpad on my keyboard with the same results, likewise on a touch screen.

Note: not only is the highlighted area ignoring mouse clicks, the line it's on ignores the clicks (clicking on a different line unfocuses the edit area as normal.)

Another note: if I double click i the css panel to highlight a value the mouse works fine, I can set my cursor position in any part of the highlighted area.

I've made sure I'm up to date, and I've use the "default settings" option in the devtools more than once. 

I'm using chrome canary 73.0.3669.0

Any ideas?

You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.
