Screenshot of an uncaught error in Chrome Dev Tools

Currently, when the browser detects an uncaught error, the IDE automatically opens the browser log, which displays the following message:

Uncaught Error: NotFoundError: DOM Exception 8 (14:45:34:389 | error, javascript)
    at do_login (src/main/webapp/auction.js:41:39)
    at init (src/main/webapp/auction.js:20:5)

This is good as it clearly indicates to the user that something is wrong, but this UI is even better in Chrome DevTools. See the attached screenshot.
