Why a breakpoint on 'while(true)' never gets hits?

[Tony Henrich]

I have a Javascript line of 'while(true)' with a breakpoint. The breakpoint never gets hit. Why? A breakpoint at the previous hit gets hit so this is not a logic flow issue.

while(true)
{
...
}

It does not break on the first iteration, but on the second (and third and the rest) it breaks, for me.

Why not in the first iteration? Is this by design?

I don't think so, please file a bug at crbug.com/new so that we could track it.

This appears to be an old bug that either never got reported/fixed or is a regression. It still appears that breakpoints on while statements don't break on the first iteration.

So, please, file an issue (if you have not found one at crbug.com)? :)
You can then post a link to the found or created issue here.
