Strange text

Reported by alexande...@gmail.com, Jul 31

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS Version: OS X 10.13.5
URLs (if applicable) : Seemingly any 
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari: OK
    Firefox: OK
    IE/Edge: N/A

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Navigate to any webpage. Even `about:blank` works.
2. Open up the dev tools.
3. Type "document.write(`" into the console input.

What is the expected result?
I can continue to write in the console input without any delay or interruption.

What happens instead of that?
A bunch of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code is superimposed on top of the Dev Tools window.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
Video attached.

It appears to be some kind of auto-complete gone wrong.
Components: Platform>DevTools
That is likely history from a typed DevTools console command. You can clear the console history by right-clicking in the Console>Clear console history.

But yeah maybe the auto-complete text should be trimmed/limited.

I can confirm that it is history from a previous command and that clearing the history fixed the issue. Thanks for the feedback.

As per comment# 4 from the reporter, the issue is no more seen, hence closing it and marking it as Won't fix.
Note: Feel free to raise a new one if the issue is seen again.

Thanks!
