one workaround I found - it’s set checkbox in devtools settings for ‘Disable paused state overlay’
I’ve generalized this problem into a smaller repro: https://gist.github.com/clavin/236e0943ef72525a573bfb81d1739647
That gist shows two webviews, one on top of the other. The top one has its dev tools open automatically. When the
debuggerbutton is pressed in the top webview it should pause. From there, neither the top nor bottom webviews can be clicked on–even though the bottom one is still running and updating.Further, other interactions like selecting text and keyboard events still make their way into the second webview, just not clicks. This means that the paused top webview cannot be resumed from the debug “paused” overlay on the webview, only from the devtools window.
