Companion.js does NOT capture Javascript error if IE Developer enabled / DebugBar forums

If I enable IE Developer then Companion.js does NOT capture JavaScript errors.
I went into Tools-->Manage Add-Ons and disable IE Developer Toolbar and Companion.js will now capture the Javascript errors.

Is this a know bug? Any work arounds?

Hi,

This is not a bug, but a Windows limitation (that makes sense by the way).

Only one debugger can be attached at the same time to a process, so it can be either the IE developer toolbar or Companion.JS, but not both at the same time.
So, the attached debugger will handle and report the error, and the other one won't see the error as it is not attached.

ok - thanks - I would suggest making this an explicit comment in Companion.js
