Clicking actions in Flutter side bar does not do anything

[khusantoy]

1. Open Flutter DevTools from the IDE sidebar (VS Code)
2. Select any tool (e.g., Performance, Inspector, Network, Logging)
3. DevTools panel does not respond — no action happens and the UI becomes stuck

Thanks for the report! @khusantoy are there any other details you can provide, e.g. any actions taken before the sidebar froze?

Could you also check if you see any errors in Developer Tools in VS Code?

FYI @DanTup

@khusantoy maybe a long shot, but out of interest:

• Do you have anything like Norton Antivirus?
• Did you let your machine sleep between first opening the Sidebar and trying to click the links?

Both of those have been the source of these kinds of issues recently.

Could you also confirm specifically what this means:

and the UI becomes stuck

Do you see the animations when you click buttons, or do you mean the UI is completely frozen?

Please also confirm exactly which version of the Flutter SDK and the Dart extension for VS Code you have. Thanks!

Oops, I should've recognised the username from that issue!

@elliette see my comments at https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code/issues/5808#issuecomment-3607363868 (I apparently mistyped your username when mentioning you!)

@elliette assuming you hadn't already started, I'm going to take a look at this.
