Bug: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'href' of null at u (content_script_bundle.js:1)

[vHeemstra]

Description of bug

When using JSFiddle, my browser's console shows uncaught TypeErrors from the Ghostery extension script whenever I click after one of these characters (,),[,],},} (when it's the last character on the line) in the editor field.

NB: I've seen it in other situations/on other websites happening as well, but this is just an example.

Expected Behavior

Nothing / No errors in the console

Actual Behavior

The console shows this error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'href' of null at u (content_script_bundle.js:1). It occurs at line 1, character 26556 (e.target.parentNode.href).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to this small JSFiddle example
2. Open your browser's console
3. Click at the line endings after the characters

Versions

• Browser: Chrome version 69.0.3497.100 (64bits)
• OS: Windows 10 Pro
• Node: version 6.9.1

Should be fixed in the next release.
