Comment (by omarreiss):

 In [changeset:"43577" 43577]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="43577"
 General: Explicitly assigns all JS globals to the window.

 Many variables in the JavaScript were defined in the global scope without
 being explicitly assigned to the window. When built with Webpack, the code
 gets encapsulated in anonymous functions and those implicit globals get
 assigned to the wrong scope. This patch prevents that from happening.

 Fixes #44371. See #43731.
