Variable Values Not Popping Up on Mouse Over in Chrome Debugger

Question

Until recently, when paused in Chrome debugger on a breakpoint, the current state of a JavaScript variable, array or object would pop up in a yellow dialog if hovered over with a mouse. That is no longer working though I'm at a loss to know what has changed. Has anyone else experienced this? It's really making debugging a lot more difficult on this computer. My other computer still has the normal behavior in Chrome Dev Tools (both Windows 7 machines). Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The same thing happened to me on 16/12/19, with version 79. But in Chrome canary, it is working fine. People who need can download it here (you can use it for now) or you can use Chrome Dev here

For the people who don't know about Chrome Canary or Dev

Chrome Canary is an experimental version of the popular Chrome browser. Google offers four release channels for its Chrome browser: Stable, Beta, Dev, and Canary. Most people use the Stable release of Chrome, which is rigorously tested and considered very reliable.

By contrast, Chrome Canary may appeal to people who like noodling around with new technology and want to get an advance look at what the standard Chrome browser may look like in the future.

Answer 2

Updated my chrome to version 79.0.3945.117 (Official Build) (64-bit). popup after hovering to variable is not showing. Luckily, I found solution on google(don't know about the source now). Simply turn off the Hardware acceleration feature and it worked. If you ignore impact of hardware acceleration turn off, this is the ideal one.

Canary version 81>= is another solution for this feature to work.
