Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect)

Description

[:glob ✱]

after editing an attribute in the html view of the inspector, you're unable to dismiss the inspector.

steps to reproduce:

1. load http://johnathpointing.com/
2. right-click cheezeburger iframe, inspect element
3. find the iframe's element, and change the src attribute to overlay.png
4. press escape

expected outcome:

when you press escape, the inspector should close

actual result:

pressing escape closes the html view, but leaves the overlay and inspector panel.
also results in the following javascript error:

Should be fixed by bug 769299.

The inspector can't get stuck anymore (so, WORKSFORME).

The inner cause is still present thought (see bug 754612).
