Firebug 1.12 Blockers

• Issue 6557: Font previews don't work
  • Florent working on it
  • Honza ready to help if needed. Ask for status.

• Issue 6516: Detection of grouped console messages is slow
  • Sebastian working on it, should be done Wednesday evening
  • Honza review the development branch
  • Some conclusions: objects are not grouped by default, but there are exceptions: Date and RegExp are small and quick to compare, so we can group them.
  • We could also quickly compare "simple objects". Where simple object doesn't have inner objects and not "too many" properties. But, there is still a problem that objects can change during logging. We could use toSource() to generate an ID at the beginning to compare objects.

• Issue 6598: Log groups must not be grouped
• Issue 6602: document.cookie should not group the raw string and the table display
  • Should be fixed together with issue 6516

• Obj.areEqual() should be private (moved back to console dir)

Misc

• toSource() is not offered by Completion List Popup
  • [].toSource()
  • Reported as issue 6654
• Bug 901841: Error message for invalid regular expressions in 'pattern' attribute lacks information about where it occurred
  • Reported by Sebastian
  • Sebastian: Give feedback on how the API for the source info (element reference) should look like
