Paused in debugger in chrome

Question

When debugging in chrome  the scripts are always paused in the debugger even if there are no break points set  and if the the pause is un-paused  it again pauses itself   What can be done

One possible cause  it that you ve enabled the  pause on exceptions   the little stop-sign shaped icon with the pause      symbol with in in the lower left of the window    Try clicking that back to the off grey state  not red nor blue states  and reload the page   UPDATE  Adding a screenshot for reference

This was happening to me  I had a breakpoint on subtree modifications on the body tag  and every time I removed the breakpoints  they would be back after I refreshed  I was so confused  and I even removed all DOM breakpoints  but the phantom body subtree modification breakpoint kept coming back  Eventually  I reloaded the cache  and they disappeared

Another user mentioned this in slight detail but I missed it until I came back here about 3 times over 2 days -   There is a section titled EventListener breakpoints that contains a list of other breakpoints that can be set   It happens that I accidentally enabled one of them on DOM Mutation that was letting me know whenever anything to the DOM was overridden   Unfortunately this led to me disabling a bunch of plug-ins and add-ons before I realized it was just my machine   Hope this helps someone else

Really silly issue that I ran into that led me here with the debugger  command    debugger   has a watch set on it   It caused a page that just said debugger  to appear between every page load   The way to disable it is to just right-click said Watch and click  Delete watch expression

In my case  I had the Any XHR flag set true on the XHR Breakpoints settings  accessible over the Sources tab within Chrome s dev tools     Uncheck it for Chrome to work normally again

Yep   I m just learning chrome dev tools today  and found the same thing -- if the above fails  expand the area pictured here and look for breakpoints you may have set and forgotten
