    I would like to know why the HTML element selector window is made so big that it overlaps the top of the page so that there is no way to select a specific CSS selector above a certain position on the page. Why not make this window smaller or somehow arrange to resize and/or move it (up and down)?

    The easiest way to get the selector(s) is in the web inspector window in the browser.

    The element selector in the plugin is an additional tool to help you to get the selector.
    The window is designed to use all of the available space so you can examine the whole page. There is no need to resize the window. Once you select the element the window is closed.

    Perhaps you didn’t quite understand me, or I didn’t describe the situation well.
    For a start, see the screenshot.
    As you can see the HTML element selector window takes up two thirds of the browser window.
    Obviously, it looks pretty bad from the usability point of view.
    Since the plugin has this feature, why not make it more usable? Why is the selector so gigantic? It doesn’t make any sense.
    As I said earlier, because the HTML element selector window overlaps the top of the page, it is impossible to scroll all the way to the top to pick a selector in the header.

    Your screenshot indicates some issue with the website – check console for javascript errors.
    It should look like this:

    You can scroll the page and click on any link to navigate the site.

    Hmm, how interesting. Thanks for the tip.
    No errors in the console.
    Perhaps some interference from the theme or plugins. I will look into it.
    Sorry for the inappropriate claims about the quality of the plugin.
