Chrome opens settings in DevTools window

Project Member Reported by yannic.b...@gmail.com, Jan 24 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: 66.0.3329.1
OS: macOS 10.13

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open DevTools and undock it into a separate window.
(2) Make sure the DevTools window is focused.
(3) Open Chrome > Settings

What is the expected result?
Settings open in a new tab.

What happens instead?
Settings open in DevTools window, and you have to close the DevTools window to get DevTools back. (right click > inspect focuses DevTools window, but it will still show settings page).

This does not happen in stable (63.0.3239.132)

Thanks for the report.  I was able to reproduce on Mac.

Sorry, after trying it again I cannot reproduce this.  Opening Chrome > Settings via the '3-dot' button in Chrome always opens in a new tab, unless I start on the chrome://newtab page.  Tested on Mac 66.0.3329.0 and 66.0.3338.0.

Could you please check if this still occurs when you start on a url other than the new tab page ?
Thanks! I'm also unable to reproduce this in 66.0.3340.0.

However, it still occurs in https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/23f7ac0ae187feb62913b7dc793a8721a0d37e07, so it looks like this was fixed in the last week.

Yeah, especially on Canary channel, bugs can pop up and disappear in a short period.  But we still appreciate those who file early Canary bugs!
