Hi @MarkHay yes this definitely looks like an issue with the webview tab.

I see you’ve logged it as a bug which is great. If you see slightly different output in your webview than the ones I’ve posted here please upload any further screenshots as this would help.

Hey @MarkHay!

This issue is caused by our devtools plugin which injects itself into the webview HTML. There is nothing we can do about this natively, but you can change your CSS to only select the divs within body like so: body > div

Please let me know if that solves your issue!

HI Shane, thanks for getting back to me. I knew I could fix it by using classes/ID’s or descendant selectors but unfortunately that was part of an example to explain the inheritance behind CSS rules and was a precursor to classes/ID’s being introduced. to a class of pupils This never seemed to be an issue before though? (or at least not that I noticed)
