1671296 - (Enhancement) Improve inspector for users who need to block or debug events

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1543620

(DevTools :: Inspector, enhancement)

Description

Attachment: Screen Shot 2020-10-14 at 6.10.19 PM.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:81.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/81.0

Steps to reproduce:

A lot of sites using, flashing, animation, or other pain on mouseover. I think this is supposed to provide "feedback," but it can be blinding and can trigger migraines.

Actual results:

It's hard to use the inspector on these events.

1st, because mousing onto the objects is a migraine trigger.

2nd, because it;s just hard to find things buried in the mess of code.

3rd, because of they're hidden away under "event" then that pop-up doesn't display properly, with the heads of each line clipped.

4th. the "Accessibility" tab neither provides any warnings about this nor any clues to help fix this, and the "console" tab doesn't log events as they occur.

Expected results:

There ought to be a way to find all the code for all the mouseover events, and bring it together without the rest.

Hi,

I will move this enhancement over to a component so developers can take a look over it. If this is not the correct component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.

Thanks for your report.

Sounds like a duplicate of Bug 1543620.

The description is a mess, but it sounds like asking for something like the Event Listeners panel from Chrome DevTools.
