User Story

When investigating an error, I want the concerning code to be annotated with inline error details, so that I can see everything in context.

  • Should highlight the expression in red

This could be covered as part of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger/How_to/Breaking_on_exceptions (where we could also remove the old video)

Added a screenshot and description of this to Breaking on exceptions (and deleted old info as suggested).

I'm seeing a tooltip, which is not the same thing in my mind as a "preview". Possibly, I'm not testing this correctly, or my mental categories are not correct.
