inspect script in chrome debug without losing ability to scroll webpage

Question

When I have some breakpoints set up in a script google chrome removes the ability to scroll the webpage, saying at the top of the screen Paused in debugger. Is there a way to disable this so that I can look at elements in various parts of the page, while also looking at the script in the debugger?

Answer 1

Taken from here.

An easy workaround for the scrolling lock-up is to just jump to the console, and:

window.scrollTo(0, 800). (Replace 800 as needed)

Answer 2

You can click on the Elements tab and then hover over the HTML to the element you are interested in and right click to "Scroll into view". Not the most natural and fast, but it works...
