How to resize IE Developer tools when they are too big for the window

Question

I've been assigned to look at an IE only JavaScript issue. As such I wanted to use the IE Developer tools. I last used these when I was in the office with the computer plugged into a large monitor. Now I'm at home and have a smaller screen.

When I open the developer tools I'm finding that they are sized too large to fit into a maximized window. As such I have no access to the tabs to switch page etc. Any idea how to resize the developer tools to get out of this?

Answer 1

Ctrl+P worked best for me.

When the debugger is in the foreground, Ctrl+P unpins the debugger (rather than executing a "Print" command).

Answer 2

There may be other ways to solve this but here is what I actually did:

1. Un-maximize the browser window
2. Make the window as big as possible without maximizing it
3. Use the title bar to drag the window as far down as possible so that the window is hanging off the bottom of the screen
4. Use the mouse to resize the window by dragging the top edge of the window up
5. The tabs were then displayed.
