Bug 1655951 revealed (see jdescottes’ investigation on Phabricator ) that whenever the debugger pauses, it takes the focus. That can be unwelcome in cases where the split console is displayed and focused.

Quoting Julian:

Maybe we should not focus the debugger panel if:

  • the debugger panel is already opened
  • but the the focus is on the split console

That seems like something that could be annoying for users.
Imagine you are typing something in the splitconsole, a breakpoint hits and suddenly your key inputs go to the debugger panel.
