On one of my Magento 2 websites I noticed while in Production mode, the Developer tab is still showing in Stores > Settings -> Configuration > Advanced.
The store seems to be running fine but something has to be wrong as it's not hiding the developer tab.
Has anyone come across this before?
Yes the developer configuration section can still be visible in production mode if the static materialized view files listed below are not cleaned up.
pub\static
var\view_preprocessed
also clear the cache.
For code investigation , debug these files
Magento\Developer\Block\Adminhtml\System\Config\WorkflowType
Magento\Developer\Model\Config\Backend\WorkflowType - afterSave()
