Browser MCP: Hide/Show toggle button can only hide, not show

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Apr 2, 2026 by waylandzhang Closed Apr 2, 2026

Bug Description

When using Playwright MCP browser tools, the Hide/Show Browser toggle button at the bottom of the tool call list is unreliable — it can hide the browser panel but clicking it again does not show it back.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use any browser MCP tool (e.g., browser_navigate, browser_click, etc.)
  2. The browser panel appears with tool call results and a "Hide Browser" button
  3. Click "Hide Browser" — the panel hides successfully
  4. Click "Show Browser" — nothing happens, the panel does not reappear

Expected Behavior

Clicking the toggle button should reliably show/hide the browser panel in both directions.

Actual Behavior

The button only works for hiding. Once hidden, the browser panel cannot be shown again via the toggle.
