19,699 PointsProfiling and console help!
I am using Chrome on a PC so naturally my dev tools panel looks slightly different than the one Nick is using, however when I run the javascript CPU profile, it will not let me click on the console tab to run the javascript I want to test, or any other tab for that matter until I stop the test. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on to do this? any information would be appreciated :]

I had the same issue (was unable to click the 'Console' tab once I started recording on the 'Profiles' tab), but displaying the extra console frame with the 'Esc' key allowed me to run commands in the console while recording.

11,679 PointsI use Chrome on a PC too; and for me, to the left of the Settings gear there's a button that looks like ">_" which, when clicked, reveals an options panel with a console that you're able to use.
I tried to reproduce what you described and wasn't able to get to the console in the main panel when the profile ran either; which seems like strange behaviour.
Anyway, I hope that this helped you!
