</div>

What version of Node-RED, what version of node.js? How did you install? Has it always been like this or has it just started? Any more basic information you can share?

Is it not just hidden ? Halfway on the right

</div>

And what about the rest of my questions?

Also, any errors in the log when Node-RED starts? Any errors in the browser JavaScript console when you open the editor? Is it just the debug sidebar you don't see (so you have the Info sidebar tab?)

The node.js version is 8.15.0. I can see the info sidebar tab. It is the debug sidebar tab i can't see. The Node-RED is running on a VPS.

Can you post a screenshot so we can understand what you are seeing (or not seeing in this case)?

Do you have the Debug node in your palette?

And again, I asked other questions that still need answering - particularly any errors in your browsers javascript console
