Issue:

  • Brave’s DevTools hangs only on the elements tab when inspecting a DOM modified by Bootstrap Select (v.13.18)
  • Observed on a ZORINOS system.
  • Chrome’s DevTools works fine.

Minimal test html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Test</title>
    <link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-select/1.13.18/css/bootstrap-select.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-select/1.13.18/js/bootstrap-select.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <select class="selectpicker">
        <option>Test</option>
    </select>
    <script>$('.selectpicker').selectpicker();</script>
</body>
</html>

Steps:

  • Open brave,
  • Open DevTools
  • Select any tab other than ‘Elements’
