Chrome Constantly Freezes/Unresponsive to Input When Inspector Is Open
First of all, I have already tried disabling hardware acceleration, re-installing Chrome, even re-installing Mac OS Mojave. Non of these solved my issues.
After 5-10 minutes of using Chrome with the inspector window open, it becomes extremely buggy!
Hovering over items in the elements tab of the inspector window no longer highlights those items blue on the page. Clicking to modify an attribute on an element does allow me to edit it, but the typing cursor has disappeared and the ability to select text is gone, so I am typing/editing blind. The same thing happens when trying to edit a style in the right column under the styles tab, I can click to edit it but the typing cursor is missing, and I cannot select/highlight text.
In addition, when I am done editing a style, attribute, or text in the Elements window, you cannot close out of the style, parameter, or text - it just remains in the edit state. At this point trying to change to another element is difficult. I have to double click, or even triple click to go to another element, and it's not highlight the element blue on the page.
In the source tab, if I try to debug javascript, it brings Chrome to a crawl, and I cannot click the step over/step into buttons, it's very slow to respond, sometimes I have to double click, or triple click for it to respond to my click to step.
Also, when Chrome has become unresponsive like this, the ability to click and drag the handlebars on the responsive resizing window is missing, I cannot drag to resize the browser window (using the responsive handles).
Finally, during this buggy state in Chrome, the browser window will not accept text input anywhere, either on the address bar or on a webpage itself.
I can relieve the issue of the browser not accepting text input by closing the inspector, but after I re-open it the issues re-appear unless I restart Chrome. Sometimes I am having to restart Chrome every 10 minutes. This has been happening for about 3 months now.
Before then, I had none of these issue.
