The https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/display_token page was only built for the response_type=token flow, not the response_type=code flow.
For example, https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/display_token?code=thiswillnotshow will not show the value, but https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/display_token#access_token=thiswillshow will show the value.
In your screenshot, you're using "?code=", which is not supported by the https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/display_token page. The response_type=token flow is considered deprecated now in favor of the response_type=code flow anyway, so we don't recommend using the response_type=token flow or the https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/display_token page anymore. You should use the response_type=code flow with your own redirect URI on your own server. Please refer to the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information.
