299797 - Venkman Interactive Session Evaluation uses wrong scope

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[shutdown]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050705 Firefox/1.0+ (2005070522)

Since bug 293933 is fixed, Venkman Interactive Session no longer throws
EvalError. But its feature is still broken. It evaluates given expr
in the debugger's scope instead of the selected window's scope.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load "about:blank" in the browser.
2. start venkman.
3. set the window displaying "about:blank" as evaluation object in venkman.
4. make sure Interaction Session pane says
   "[context: about:blank, scope: [object Window]]".
5. evaluate "location.href".

Actual Results:  
< 00001: location.href
> chrome://venkman/content/venkman.xul


Expected Results:  
< 00001: location.href
> about:blank

I can confirm that behavior with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050705 Firefox/1.0+

It's courios that it is working with the netError.xhtml which is a chrome-URI.
All other pages and about: are still broken.

Fixed by the patch for bug 300008.
Now Venkman Interactive Session Evaluation uses the selected scope correctly.
