1603362 - [Eager evaluation] Investigate using CodeMirror LineWidget to display the eager evaluation result

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Console, task, P3)

Description

[Nicolas Chevobbe [:nchevobbe]]

Bug 1602489 added a simple support for Eager Evaluation which has a few issues layout-wise:

• The result is not placed at the right spot in editor mode
• The console layout shifts when the evaluation result is updated (because the element is hidden/shown as the expression is updated)
• Having the result under the expression means the codeMirror input doesn't take the whole vertical space, so you can't double click anywhere in this whole space to select the current expression (I do that a lot, I suspect it's a common behavior)

We won't go this way. The UI is definitely good enough for now (only missing the editor, but that's not a big deal)
