console.log broken w/chrome

Hi -

since yesterday I can't get the debugger and the console to work:

chrome  38.0.2125.101
webstorm 8.0.4

I see "Connected" and then immediately after: "Disconnected (browser disconnected)". Webstorm 9 does not even render the page, Chrome just sits there.
Would hate to have to go back to FF.

Any settings that I need to change?

thank you,

U.
