1594988 - UI sub nodes in Watch expressions should not be editable

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P2)

Description

[Zhao Gang]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add an object to watch expression, let it have some fields.
2. Click any of its fields twice.

Actual results:

The watch expressions panel shrinks to become an editing input field, asking you to change the whole watched expression.

Expected results:

After clicking sub nodes twice, nothing should happen. Only clicking the expression itself (the root level) can trigger the editing.

As a developer I often need to click inside a large object to expand fields, and this behavior can become quite annoying.
