1421610 - Exception loses context

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect)

Description

Attachment: exceptionloosescontext.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171112125346

Steps to reproduce:

In the debugger for firefox.

Happens everytime I try to analyse an exception. Has done that for maybe 7 years, daily, everytime. Regardles of computer, windows type, or firefox number.

I work in Windows.


Actual results:

I get an exception and the debugger halts. And if I am fast enough I MIGHT be able to open the info about the exception in Variables. It is a drop down that often does not have anything in it.
It is often so that I can see the debugger updating, after pausing. It flickers. If I try to open the dropdown BEFORE that flickering, the informations is often still there. After the flicker it is NEVER there. 
I attach a picture showing the drop down opened and empty.
So, the update removes the information about the exception.


Expected results:

Well, the information should still be there.

I don't really know if this is the wrong place to report this bug. I tried to find Firefox debugger, but couldn't.
This bug is anyway about Firefox debugger.

This report was for the old debugger and it seems to work for me now. Do you still see any issues?
