Chrome Browser Developer Tools: Scripts Show Up Multiple Times

Question

When using Chrome's Developer Tools to debug Javascript, the list of 'Scripts' tends to add multiple occurrences of each script as I'm changing/reload/testing the code. Safari uses the same essential tool set and does not do this. It's not unknown for a script to show up in this list 10 times. When this happens, the only thing I can think to do is to kill the tab and reload it. Is this a known bug?

Chrome version 18.0.1025.168 (up to date as of this writing)

Mac OSX version 10.7.3 (Lion)

Cheers!

Answer 1

I think you are using Chrome extensions. Some extensions will cause this issue, check by disable some of them.

Answer 2

Yes, this could be a bug. See:

You could try seeing if there are several frames that are using the same script and test the frames one at a time...
