I have Google Chrome 13.0.782.220 on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64-bit).
I try to edit a JavaScript code from an external JS file in the Chrome Developer Tools Scripts pane by double-clicking on the script area. No matter how fast I click, the only effect is to select a nearby word.
Does anybody have an idea why the edit mode isn't activated?

Chrome Webkit Inspector does not allow you to live-edit pretty printed Javascript. Click the pretty print button (Looks like { }) in the Scripts tab to disable pretty-print mode and edit it.

You might have hit against the Same origin policy.
From Disabling cross-domain security check for AJAX development in Google Chrome :
Start Google Chrome from command line, Ubuntu/Linux:
chromium-browser --disable-web-security

It's a bug. You can simulate a solution by pasting the formatted code into the minified file.

I don't think there is a Javascript edit mode in Webkit Inspector. At best, you could use breakpoints, and trace your output. – Nemo – 2011-09-15T12:30:47.070
As stated here (redirected from here it is possible.

Yes, it does work with pretty print off. Chrome is awesome – Nemo – 2011-09-15T12:40:47.727
@Capt.Nemo You hit the nail. Put it as the answer so I could award you with the bounty. – Rajish – 2011-09-18T19:28:04.040
