Empty stack panel

[littlewoodEd]

When I break, the call stack shows up in the toolbar, but the stack
panel is empty.
I haven't seen any other posts on this. Am I the only one?
FF 3.0.10 en-US, fb 1.4a30, xp sp3

Please try Firebug 1.4a31: is it still a problem? If so I need a test
case. The ones I have tried so far work for me.

I've seen this exact behavior. Though, in my limited testing so far, I
haven't see it in 1.4.a31.

tried 1.4.a31. the first time I hit a breakpoint on the first time I
loaded the page, I saw what might have been a short stack (a couple
blue links, but not function names). Since then, nothing but an empty
panel, though when I hover the mouse, sometimes (OK, once) I get a
tooltip. FLASH: I just discovered this is all with the FB window
detached. If FB is attached, I get a call stack.

Maybe this is related, but to get a deeper call stack I changed my
breakpoint from the script inlined in the loaded page to another
script file. Still no stack, but now when I choose the original
loaded page in the script panel, it's empty too. I've found that if I
reload the page with the secondary script file in the script panel,
after the reload, the main page's script never shows up again until I
restart FF.

I'm running FF3.0.10 en-US with add-ons FB 1.40a31, google gears
0.5.21.0, java quick starter 1.0, Microsoft .NET Framework Assisant
1.0, Web Developer 1.1.6 on Windows XP sp3

I can recreate the stack problem by:
1. load http://xoxoxpress.com/authors.php
2. activate and detach FB window and reload.
3. open thumbs.js in the script panel. set a breakpoint on line 35
4. in the web page, click on one of the author thumbnails
5. when the breakpoint's hit, I get a stack in the toolbar, but not
the stack panel
6. switch to the authors.php page in the script panel
7. I get no source listed.

On a tangentially related topic, once I detach the FB window,
sometimes I can't re-attach. clicking the 'x' button sometimes
reattaches, sometimes closes and deactivates, Also, iIf I exit FF
with FB detached, the FB window stays up, and the FF process doesn't
exit until I close it too.

I am still seeing similar stuff. Even stranger, when it working OK, if
I switch tabs every item in the stack trace turns to
[xpconnect...tackFrame]. If I switch tabs again, it changes the list
to a single [xpconnect...tackFrame]. Things are hosed at that point
and time to restart Firefox.

BTW: I found that if I have "Omit Toolbar Stack" (BTW, what does that
mean?) *disabled* then I often will be debugging comments not code at
some point (that is, it is way off on line numbers).

I was able to reproduce this and fix it at R3114 on branches/
firebug1.5 and it will be in Firebug 1.5a2.

If you would like to have any of the other problem fixed all you have
to do it post a similarly detailed list of steps with a test case to
the issues list:

sorry, I sort of space out and put the reproduce steps here instead of
a bug report. my bad.

Geez, firebug 1.5 seem so far away. No chance of getting this into
1.4, which is still in alpha? If I have deep enough call stack (which
can happen quite often with dojo), my 2 monitors side-by-side don't
give me enough real estate to see the entire stack in the toolbar.

ed,
it's the reproducible steps that count, not the place you report
them.

addons.mozilla.org has released 1.4a31 with version number 1.4b1, so
we can't do any more alphas on 1.4. So far 1.5 has no risky code, so
1.5a2 should work for you.

we'll check and back-port this fix to 1.4b2 as well.

littlewoodEd. thanks for this, but in the future, please file bug
reports at : http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/

fix backported and checked into branches/firebug1.4 as r3168.
