Details

We don't have docs for the Canvas debugger, and should.
I know you know that Florian is working on Canvas API right now. So there may be a good opportunity to communicate about all this *in a coordinated way* at the end.
Good call, I have seen the panel, but couldn't figure out how to do something with it. I thought it is mainly for WebGL/3D.

I am working on getting 2D canvas docs up for now. Adding this to bug 1054983, to have this on my radar as well.

Implementation is bug 917226.

Probably important note in bug 917226 comment 83:

> How to test/use the canvas debugger?
> Reloading the page and then clicking the record button starts the recording,

> Good to know: bug 978948 and bug 985109 are not fixed yet. So your test page needs to use 
> requestAnimationFrame and have a single canvas.
Also not working with iframes (bug 981748). So, currently, it doesn't work with the live samples I have built on CanvasRenderingContext2D reference pages.
I think this is no longer relevant, please reopen if I'm wrong.
