Bug ID: 181805
Summary: Web Inspector: Layers tab should do away with popovers
(if possible)
Product: WebKit
Version: WebKit Nightly Build
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: Web Inspector
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: ross.kirsling at sony.com
CC: inspector-bugzilla-changes at group.apple.com
Background
----------
As Matt Baker (among others) has pointed out, the Layers tab's details sidebar has a bit of an identity crisis:
- Part of its usage allows one to navigate the visualization, but the tabular data means we can't make it a nav sidebar.
- It *does* display all the details for the visualization, yet it's not "optional" like other details sidebars, because the data for the selected layer is buried in its popover.
Proposal
--------
Eliminate the popover and display the selected layer information as part of the main panel.
Specifically, keep the same data arrangement but display it in a div that sits on top of the visualization canvas at the top left corner.
(Note that putting it *in* the visualization would be counterproductive, since we don't want it to move around in 3D space.)
If we do this, I think the awkwardness of the details sidebar show more or less go away.
