Can't dock my Safari web inspector.

Hi guys!


Just updated my Safari on MacBook Pro '13' 2015 and decided to see what's new there. Occasionally I detached my Web Inspector and can't dock it back to the bottom of Safari page. It should be easy to solve the problem, but I don't find the docking button.


Thank you for your help in advance!

This is a very stupid bug on Apple's part, screws up my minor OCD like anything, and after a lot of trial and errors and researching for something as stupid as this, I found the trick to fix this.

All you need to do is, close the web inspector, go out of the fullscreen mode on safari on your mac, and open the inspector again in the restored view. You will see the two buttons for docking the inspector at the bottom or right at the top left corner. THAT'S IT! I mean! Stupid!

This is quite annoying, I was using Safari in split screen and the inspector opened also in full screen with no buttons to dock it.


The workaround above fixes it, or I noticed that I can actually drag the inspector window over the full screen apps. on the split view space.( hit escape to exit full screen 1st obviously)


I have two monitors so I'm not sure if you could do this with only one ? You can't seem to drag apps. onto a split screen space otherwise. Weird !
