Uncaught TypeError: inst.setState.bind is not a function

See original GitHub issue

I’m getting this error when running npm start, however it goes away when i do npm run build and serve that. Any ideas? I’m not exactly sure what’s causing it, it’s related to setState though, from a result of a UI interaction callback. It doesn’t seem to cause problems… (famous last words).

@savovs It’s the react dev tools, not specifically related to create-react-app.

I’ll lock this because the original bug is unrelated and now people googling this will read confusing threads that have nothing to do with their problem.
