I could not find a button to maximize the VSCode REPL window. So I used to drag the upper border of that window up and down when I needed more space for the REPL or more space for the editor window. This was a bit hard to do because the border between these windows was very thin. Just a small movement of the mouse pointer would be enough to “lose” the window border. Doing this has become much harder: the REPL window border has disappeared overnight. I tried a variety of themes and the border is still invisible. Questions:
1. Is there a way, with the mouse or keyboard shortcuts, to maximize the REPL window?
2. Is there a way to make the REPL window border thicker and visible?
3. Is there a way to position the REPL window besides (instead of below) the editor window? (I have two monitors, so that would be quite convenient)
Thanks for the help.

Can’t you use this button instead?

Thanks. That worked. In my system it is in the Julia Documentation window, not in the REPL window. I also found out that the border becomes visible under the High Contrast theme, but not in any others I tried.
