Google Chrome default console context

Lately when opening the Google Chrome developer console, the context has been wrong.

I load a page, press Ctrl + Shift + J and get this: https://i.sstatic.net/ojr52.png

It changes extensions sometimes but it should be 'top'.

I can change the context manually each time but this is getting kind of annoying to do.

This issue was reported and fixed on the Chromium issue tracker. The revision #396058 has not made it into Chrome stable yet, but you can see that it is fixed in Chrome Canary. It can take 10 weeks for the change to reach the stable version of Chrome, and it has been about 1 month so far.

Update (August 15th 2016)

The issue has regressed again and the fix hadn't even reached Chrome stable yet. Another issue has since been logged here, so we are awaiting a Canary fix, and then a longer wait for Chrome stable. It's very frustrating.

Update (August 24th 2016)

This seems to be mostly fixed in 54.0.2837.0 (Canary), but I get problems with blank frames on some sites, such as BBC News, Yahoo and MSN. Hopefully this will get looked at (I added a comment on the bug thread), otherwise I'll try and look into a fix myself.

Update (November 25th 2016)

It's been a while since I last looked at this, but the remaining issues I mentioned in my last update don't exist in Canary 57.0.2931.0, but do in Stable 54.0.2840.98. The issue hasn't been marked as a resolve so don't really know when the fixes took place to track, but I'm sure it wont be long now.
