Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Firebug bug report and its screenshots, then try reproducing the issue by adding stops and stepping back and forth between project files and jQuery code. Confirm that the script panel can retain one script over later views; done means each viewed script replaces the previous one without overlays.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Haven't been able to make a specific use case that replicates this, but best success in duplicating it was to add a few stops and step through code that will step back and forth through multiple files (i.e. your code and jQuery code.) At some point, one of the scripts will not clear from the script panel and anything else you view in the script view is overlaid with the "stuck" script. At the link (Firebug bug report) there are some screenshots showing the problem.
