864213 - JavaScript Developer Console does not autocomplete vars made in console

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 783499

(DevTools :: Console, defect)

Description

[Simon Sarris]

Attachment: visual example

Any variables made within the console do not show up in the console's autocomplete. For instance open the console in Aurora or Nightly and type:

  var hello = 5;

Then type the letter "h". You'd expect to see "hello" among the autocomplete options, but it is not there.

This works in Chrome, and when I switch development between the two it can be frustrating.

It works fine for me in Nightly. Can you update to the latest version and try again?

It should have been fixed by bug 783499, which landed a couple of weeks ago.
