I've inherited some large piece of code. Somewhere inside a way too generalised `e.preventDefault()` is prohibiting the normal behavior of an anchor click. 

I thought about running profiler in Chrome webtools to see what is happening when clicking on a particular link, hoping to trace it back to the culprit statement. However I haven't had much luck

how can I trace back (if possible) a statement that is overriding normal click behavior, when clicking a link in Chrome webtools?
(I am using jQuery)
