Unexpected Windows Magnifier view move when editing in the CSS side panel

Developer Tools
#1

Firefox 130.0 (previous version too)
Windows 10 22H2

I turned on Windows Magnifier and editing in the CSS side panel. The magnifier view will move to the HTML area whenever there is a drop down suggestion list showing up.

Tested this with the developer tools of Microsoft Edge and the view stayed on where the text cursor is.

Is this an intended effect?
Please check the video below. Thanks.

So I can’t see your videos, but I tried to reproduce, using the Magnifier tool and indeed typing in the inspector will cause the Magnifier to move its “viewport” at the very bottom of the toolbox. I’m not sure which heuristics its using, but maybe our autcomplete item container confuses Magnifier

This is definitely not an intended effect, so I filed a bug so we can investigate: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1916744
