Webstorm 7 live edit connection closes upon opening up developer tools in chrome

I just started using live edit for Webstorm 7 (Windows 7). It is a really cool tool however I noticed that as soon as I open up the developer tools in chrome to inspect an element the connection closes and I need to restart the debugging session.

My questions are:

1) Is this expected behavior or a bug?

2) If it is, how can I configure it to function in conjunction with the developer tools?

As I stated above, this occurs upon opening the developer tools, not attempting to edit js, css or any html.

The second link in LazyOne's comment shows it's been a reported issue for over a year now.

A decent workaround is to open up a new tab with the same address, and open up developer tools there. Although, you'd still have to switch to the tab and refresh it to update for changes.
