I encountered this issue, and couldn't figure out why the the DevTool was constantly disconnecting. So on a whim I launched Firefox Developer edition and identified the cause as an undefined variable with a string length property.

if ( args.length > 1 ) {
    $( this ).find( "option" ).each(function () {
        $( $( this ).attr( "s-group" ) ).hide();
    });
    $( args ).show();
}

TL;DR Firefox Developer edition can identify these kinds of problems when Chrome's DevTool fails.
