The "pretty print" button, located in the lower left corner of the Chrome Developer Tools window, is supposed to make minified code readable. However, when I click it, nothing happens. I tried both single and double-clicks. This happes on Chrome 32 on Windows.

How do I make the pretty-print button work?

I just stumbled upon this problem and, while Pretty-print doesn't do anything for me, I make it work by clicking the curly braces icon {} in the left bottom corner on the status bar. This suggestion came from Learn more button next to Pretty-print.

Image for clarification.
