884059 - Developer console can display messages in non-chronological order

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 755555

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P3)

Description

[Kartikaya Gupta (email:[e-mail])]

Attachment: Screenshot of console

See the last two entries in the attached screenshot. The timestamp on the last one is *before* the timestamp on the one above. This shouldn't happen, the entries should always be in chronological order.

Thanks for the report. This behavior is known. I am not sure if this is really a bug. Messages arrive async and there is no guarantee in which order they arrive. Also, there is no sorting happening client-side, except at the time of opening in the console - cached messages are retrieved, sorted and displayed.

Other consoles do not display the time for each message, making this behavior less obvious. We will probably go in a similar direction.

Looks like the underlying problem is the same as in bug 755555.
