Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLDivElement> has no method 'setCapture' in Chrome

Question

I get this error message when using Google Maps API v3 (release channel), trying to pan around the map and I have my console window open:

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLDivElement> has no method 'setCapture'

I know that closing the console and reloading the page solves the error, but this is very inconvenient as I'm developing a map app at the moment and I need to test it and read debug messages.

Other browsers (Safari 6 for instance) don't show this error and panning works fine, console window open or not.

I'm using Chrome 21.0.1180.89.

I had the same problem, when i had left the settings for useragent override to Internet Explorer, in the developer tools settings window. Unchecking the override solved the issue.
