Details

When the script execution is stopped before the page is fully loaded, it may happen that the markup view within the Inspector panel stays empty.

In those cases the user should be given a hint about the reason.
I imagine a message shown inside the Inspector panel saying something like this:

'The script execution got halted before the page's markup was fully loaded. It will be shown when you [ Continue ] the script execution.'

with [ Continue ] being a button to resume the script execution.
