Created attachment 56597 [details] Web Inspector Screenshot The Web Inspector seems to be reporting incorrect data, either in the object inspector on a breakpoint or in a watch expression. This may even be a JavaScriptCore bug? It's reproducible 100% of the time for me. Anyway, check out the attached screenshot, note the watch expression.

We are evaluating only the last token ("length") which is wrong. We should add more stop symbols and disable on-hover for suffixes with prefixes containing illegal characters.

Yes. And the value you're seeing, 0, is likely window.length, the number of "child browsing contexts", which I would expect to be 0: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/browsers.html#dom-length

Closing as invalid, as this bug pertains to the old inspector UI and/or its tests. Please file a new bug (https://www.webkit.org/new-inspector-bug) if the bug/feature/issue is still relevant to WebKit trunk.
