How to revert the developer's console back to the original version. New one is atrocious.
Recently (I would assume within a month) the developers console has turned into this terrible bar at the bottom which has many issues.
I cannot hit escape to close.
When I click "inspect element" the bar on the side doesn't appear and it's VERY difficult to work around that box on the bottom, let alone find CSS code in websites.
Basically I'm wondering how to down grade or get back the good developers console.

I also liked the ability to show HTML on the bottom and CSS on the right, but I'm not aware of a way to do that now. The most I could find is to have two columns on the right. Please see this thread for further discussion: Native Inspect Element tool won't display CSS/elements along right-side of window anymore.
Regarding Esc, I think you have to use Ctrl+Shift+k to close the Web Console (i.e., that toggles it open and shut).

Thanks for the help, I'm not really happy about this change, I might go to chrome if I can see what Chrome's developers toolbar is like.
Also, is there a way to down grade to 19.0.2 without having it upgrade?
