1142368 - Paint flashing tool is broken

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 937167

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

1) Open devtools settings pane.
2) Check "Highlight painted area" checkbox
3) Click on paintbrush button

No paint flashing occurs. Instead, on the console I get

console.error: 
  Message: TypeError: window is null

Apparently this works with non-e10s but not with e10s enabled.
