Steps to reproduce

  1. Make sure devtools.webconsole.input.eagerEvaluation is set to true
  2. Open the console
  3. Slowly, type var myTestVariable = 1; my

Expected results

The autocomplete popup isn't displayed (or after Bug 1604411 lands, we only have a completion text for myTestVariable).

Actual results

There are multiple values in the autocomplete, at most one per typed letter, i.e.

my
myT
myTe
myTes
myTest
myTestV
myTestVa
myTestVar
myTestVari
myTestVaria
myTestVariab
myTestVariabl
myTestVariable

This seems to indicate that the eager evaluation is actually declaring variables, which I don't think is something we want.
