889794 - Turn off Caret Browsing after closing developer console automatically

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Sudheesh Singanamalla (:ShellHacker)]

Attachment: After working on the new Firefox OS website. Closing the console results in caret browsing still being active. An enhancement would be to allow options for closing caret browsing automatically.

Start the developer console by the command Ctrl + Shift + K

Go to the debugger section / style editor, make some edits.
Select the section of the screen, and inspect element (Q)

Make a few changes, and close the console.

Bug #1 : Dock it to the side. Then close it. The webpage reloads. 
        (The reload shouldn't be happening)

Bug #2 (Occurs sometimes) : When console is at the bottom, turn on caret browsing. 

(Most developers use this feature to copy text information on the browser since its easier)

When console is closed, the caret browsing still remains active.
====================================================

What could be done

1. Give a settings option for choosing caret browsing to automatically turn off when Console is closed.

With the Caret Browsing button (F7) available, will it be a stretch to implement this feature now?

Unable to reproduce anymore. I think this can be closed.
