Ah-hah! That's exactly what it is, and completely different than 1.2
and 1.3. :/

I said it that way because it's been broken in every pre-release
version of Firebug I've used (which is 1.3aX+). So how would you
presume that I should state that? I was disappointed that a feature I
use seemed to be broken again. Now that it's been cleared up how that
is supposed to work, I'm no longer disappointed. That's how
discussions like this work.
If I didn't appreciate their work or care about Firebug, I wouldn't
even bother coming here. I wouldn't post issues if I didn't think they
would fix them (assuming they are issues, which in this case it was
just a misunderstanding).
