788439 - [gcli] No apparent way to close down Firefox command-line feature

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 773185

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Tony Green]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20120828083259

Steps to reproduce:

Reading about the new command-line feature on Reddit, I tried it. Opened it using shift-F2 fine. But after looking at it I can find no way to close it again.


Actual results:

Tried typing "help" in the command-line. No information about how to close it. Tried repeating shift-F2. No use.


Expected results:

There should be an obvious way to close the command-line when it's open. Or at least some easy way to find out how to get rid of it. So far, even Googling has failed to find a solution, so I'm stuck with a chunk of wasted space that could be better used.

It should have a Close button on it. Well, mine does...

But I agree, it would be better if you could close it by pressing shift-F2 again.

Ah, right! When I change to Nuvola theme from the default, a close button appears. And changing back, there's one there when I hover over where I'd seen it in Nuvola, but nothing visible without hovering. A bug in the default theme?
