1. Open Javascript console and put in some JS to evaluate.
2. Press "Evaluate".
3. Press "Clear".
4. Press "Evaluate" again.

RESULT:
Nothing.

EXPECTED:
The Javascript should have evaluated.
Actually, no.
It just never re-evaluates the same code for some reason, even if you clear.  Try skipping Step 3 and you will see the same result.

Suggested to mark as dupe of bug 238898 (which is about the lack of re-evaluation).
It's not the clear that does it. It's that the state of the JS is not reset on clear so that the expression is not evaluated if it's the same as the last time "evaluate" was pressed.
