WebSocket connections deselecting in Chrome DevTools Network Viewer

Viewed 662

I'm trying to use the Chrome DevTools Network viewer to inspect WebSocket frames. I'm not sure if i've discovered a bug or something i'm doing wrong. Essentially, while inspecting the frames, whenever a new frame is recevied, the Network viewer jumps away/deselects the websocket connection. It is particularly bad when there are "ping" type messages being sent every 5-10 seconds, as this makes it almost impossible to keep the frames tab open.

My Chrome version is 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Hit F12 to open DevTools
  2. Navigate to http://www.websocket.org/echo.html
  3. Check "Use secure WebSocket (TLS)" and click Connect
  4. In DevTools, goto the Network tab and find the websocket connection for the chat (wss://echo.websocket.org/?encoding=text), select it and view the Frames.
  5. Click Send on the page to send a message.
  6. The "?encoding=text" websocket item in the network list will deselect itself and the frames view is gone!.

Any ideas?
