Thanks for the info @alanw83

I keep the devtools docked to the bottom, that is why I couldn't reproduce it. Now I did,

I think you found a more complex issue: when the devtools is docked to the right side of the app, it seems that it is positioned on top of the elements that are above, preventing them from being clicked

I mean, not only does the Live CSS Editor toggle button stop working, but all buttons stop working as well. Also, if you make the devtools wider, you won't be able to click on the right side of the navigation bar or the action buttons found there.

I can try to set correctly the bounds of the panel for having the buttons available to the user's click.
Edit : I have tried without success ... Maybe someone else will fix this.

Hello, does this bug still need to be fixed? If so, can I have it assigned to me?

[manojVivek]

@ambermah Yeah, this is still an issue, would appreciate your help on this.
