[BUG] DevTools cannot be undocked in embedded browser

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Issue: The embedded browser’s DevTools has no option to undock/reposition. The kebab menu (three dots) that should provide docking options is missing.
Steps to reproduce:

Open localhost URL in Cursor’s embedded browser
Right-click → “Show Console” (or F12)
Try to find option to undock/reposition DevTools
Result: No menu available, stuck in bottom dock position

Expected: Should have menu with options like Chrome DevTools (undock to separate window, dock to right/left/bottom)
Current behavior: DevTools always opens docked at bottom with no repositioning options
Environment:

Cursor Version: 2.4.7
OS: [Your OS]

Impact: Makes debugging difficult, forces developers to use external browsers, losing AI integration benefits
References:

Workaround: Force external browser via Chat toolbar (click and hold browser icon → select “Google Chrome”)

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

Open localhost URL in Cursor’s embedded browser
Right-click → “Show Console” (or F12)
Try to find option to undock/reposition DevTools
Result: No menu available, stuck in bottom dock position
