I cannot expand nested objects in the Chrome DevTools.
My nested object:
console.log({test:{test:123}});
It's possible to "expand" using the first arrow but the nested arrows doesn't work

Btw: It's possible when I use my code snippet directly inside the DevTools.

My machine:
ArchLinux
v3.18.5
Brackets:
newest version (1.2)
Google Chrome
Version 40.0.2214.95 (64-bit)

@Wikunia does this happen in chrome's dev tools or just with Brackets' dev tools. I have started seeing this in the past day or so with node-inspector so I don't know if it's a problem with chrome 40 or older devtools packages yet. I get frustrated and start double-triple clicking like crazy and it eventually expands.

It's possible when I type the console code directly inside the DevTools in Chrome so I think the problem is somewhere between Brackets and Chrome

@Wikunia I can't repro this either, whether I type the console.log() directly into the console manually, or add it to the Brackets source code. Sometimes dev tools will give less info if the console.log() runs before dev tools are opened, but in this case I can't repro even if I leave dev tools closed initially.

Are you building brackets-shell yourself or using an official build?

I am using this to get the newest version on brackets:
https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/How-to-Hack-on-Brackets
Neither official nor shell :) I've not using console.log directly inside brackets source code but inside my extensions.

@Wikunia But the native shell you're running Brackets in -- are you getting it by downloading an official brackets.io build, or are you checking out the separate brackets-shell repo and following https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/wiki/Building-Brackets-Shell ?

I've downloaded an official brackets.io build.

This sounds like a duplicate of #10315. Since Linux is still on CEF 1547, then it only has dev tools via Chrome browser, so there's no workaround. I think there's a pending PR with CEF 2171 for Linux that you could try.

It looks like CEF 2171 is already part of the brackets master branch, right?

@Wikunia Yes, but it's broken on Linux. Fixes are in PR adobe/brackets-shell#499

Don't have enough time to try something with brackets-shell. I hope it will be available here in some days/weeks.

There is a linux build available with CEF 2171 you may wanna try.

I think that one is already merged to master, right? If that is the case I've tried it.

@Wikunia No, it's not on master. But you can download a test build from https://github.com/adobe/brackets/releases/tag/linux-cef-2171.

Since this is a duplicate of #10315 though, I'll close this one and generalize the title there.
