Logger inspector sometimes stays blank after loading page

Open laniakea64 opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Environment:

SeaMonkey (or Firefox 45.1.1esr), new profile uBlock Origin 1.7.0

Steps for anyone to reproduce the issue

  1. install uBlock Origin
  2. install Mozilla Archive Format (I use version 4.0rc1)
  3. restart SeaMonkey (then close all but one tab)
  4. open uBlock Origin logger, select the inspector
  5. open a MAFF file in the other tab
  6. check the inspector

Alternate steps-to-reproduce: put these two files up on a server:

<!doctype html>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="hang.php" type="text/css" />

<div>AAAAAAAAAAAAAA</div>
<img src="/some/image.gif" />

hang.php:

<?php while(true) {} ?>

then:

  1. install uBlock Origin, restart SeaMonkey
  2. open the logger
  3. in the other tab, navigate to the html file on the server
  4. in the uBlock Origin logger, open the inspector

Expected results: DOM of the page loaded in the other tab shows up in the inspector

Actual results: inspector remains blank, regardless of any (stopping &) reloading the other tab, either from the logger or the browser's buttons.

It was a once-in-a-while issue, which has never affected the Chromium version of uBO, hence assuming it's not an issue for webext.

I can reproduce this issue with uBO/webext 1.14.9b0 on Firefox 57.0a1 (2017-09-11). Are you saying you tried the steps-to-reproduce with uBO/webext and got a fully functional logger inspector?

Sorry, there was another issue which was the logger not reporting anything right after being opened, I confused the issue here with that one. The issue here is about the inspector specifically.
