Description

In Dungeon Arena.

At first it worked, then I did something (not sure when exactly) and from then on the hover debugger just gave "undefined" for everything. Moving in time does not help. Recalculating does not help.

This error may be related:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'end' of null codecombat.com/javascripts/aether.js:2399

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Dungeon Arena by using the hover debugger after moving in time and recalculating. Inspect javascripts/aether.js around line 2399 and the reported null-property error, then determine why hover values become undefined. Done means the hover debugger reports values correctly instead of undefined in the affected scenario.
