Steps:

  • Latest nightly,
  • open devtools,
  • open the Browser Toolbox,
  • click on the picker icon,
  • focus the browser window
  • hover over nodes in the browser UI and in the DevTools UI.

I don't exactly know when this occurs yet, but at some stage a JS error occurs:

JavaScript error: resource://devtools/client/inspector/markup/markup.js, line 725: TypeError: this._highlightedNodeFront is undefined

The stack trace for this is:

console.trace: 
resource://devtools/client/inspector/markup/markup.js 723 _hideBoxModel
resource://devtools/client/inspector/markup/markup.js 684 _onMouseOut

So it looks like on mouse out, there are now cases where this._highlightedNodeFront was not set.

Marking this as a small regression of bug 1568157 (which introduced this variable) because there wasn't any JS errors before.

This error seems easy to silence, we should probably just check if the variable exists before attempting to hide the highlighter, and bail out if it doesn't.
