I think it's linked to the fact we use a timeout loop to push updates to the DOM as opposed to directly hitting the DOM. So what I'm presuming is happening is the timeout is being hit and the DOM is updated but the thread that I'm currently debugging is stopped. We use a lot of timeouts to process data and push it to the DOM so that's probably why the app keeps going.
I'm afraid I can't give you access to the app but I don't think there is much that can be done anyway if it is as I'm guessing.
