User(s) can reproduce this bug
The inability to debug javascript while Visual Studio's debugger is running is really annoying. I can run Firebug at the same time as the VS debugger. Why not the IE8 Dev Tools? This is MAJOR design flaw and does little to encourage me to use the Dev Tools; in fact it makes me feel Firebug is the superior product.
