For context this issue description was previously fairly verbose and had a focus on what might be causing the problem, rather than how to reproduce it. I should have provided more feedback when I updated the issue and was asked via email why I made the changes that I did. I'll respond here so there's a record.

First of all sorry for not providing more feedback, I hope I didn't piss you off. Thank you for filing the issue, I was glad you did since it gave me enough to be aware of and reproduce the problem.

Issue descriptions for bugs should focus on steps for reproduction (including the exact environment), what the problem looks like and what it should look like when the problem is fixed. You can include guesses about the cause of the problem or other information in a sections called "Notes" or similar at the end of the issue, but that shouldn't be the main focus.

• Take care to include the version (or revision) of Adblock Plus, instead of saying latest.
• Take care to provide concrete steps for reproduction, it's not only us who needs to reproduce the problem but testers too. For example I mentioned how to inspect our developer tools pane.
• Focus on what you've observed, not on what you think might be the cause. To be frank I discard much of what people suggest when investigating an issue. If I can observe what they reported then I can work from there, otherwise I'm stuck.
• Where possible be succinct.

Again thanks for taking the time to file the issue and sorry for not providing more feedback before.

Thanks for explaining the best way to report bugs in here, and all points are very fair.

FWIW, after so many years writing JS and contributing to ECMAScript standards or filing bugs to browser vendors I have the tendency to tell exactly what is wrong, where and why, via code examples, and I could not notice any "extra note" or "technical details" in the new issue template, so I've put details in there, where no tester would ever care indeed.

I will follow all these points next time and eventually, if that's OK, comment with code a part in case I've already found the issue.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Best Regards

Looks fixed. Exceptions/error no longer displayed in console for the devtools panel.
