1275529 - Devtools does not follow the change of target element of animations

Status: NEW

Description

Attachment: A sample

Changing target element while animating does not affect the name of animating element on devtools.

I am not sure this is a bug of devtools side, though.

Thanks for the test case, it's pretty easy to reproduce with it.
Sometimes of reloading the page takes time, you'll see only the second target being displayed in the tool. But when it's fast, you'll see the animation run on the first target only, and not being updated.

It looks like we are getting the right mutation events on the backend, so it's probably just a matter of a bug in the way we filter the mutations events to be sent to our tool's front-end.

Pretty sure this is on devtools's side.
