JS broken in Chrome 18

Question

As the photo - Variable 'n' has already been declared.

I've tried clearing my cache, as well as using a new user profile with no extensions, but it doesn't work.

Might be useful to know so it can be fixed before more people are using Chrome (If it's SO's fault of course!)

Answer 1

This is only a problem when the "Experimental Javascript" flag is enabled. I've disabled it in chrome://flags, and now everything is fine again:

It should be noted that this flag also causes problems with Google's own Google Maps - I would disable it unless it's really needed.

Answer 2

While pre-release browsers really aren't supported, re-declared variables are a bug either way. I suppose Chrome's strict mode is getting stricter. I have removed (next build) a couple of re-declarations; none of them was called n in the current minified version, though (they're j and q). So I'll call this status-maybe-completed.

Answer 3

Pre-release browsers aren't supported (as Jeremy Banks already noted).

However, balpha did recently make changes to full.js, where this error appears to be occurring. It may be related.
