Yes we know about some problems in inspect after 1.4a24. Mike Radcliffe fixed a long standing bug in inspect for 1.4a24. But it created a different set of bugs. Unfortunately we have no way of knowing which pile of bugs affect more users.
He is working on a third solution. The original Joe Hewitt implementation computes positions from offsets with many special cases and it injects elements to draw the boxes on the screen. Radcliffe's solution corrects the positions but still injects. The added elements interfere with inspection. He is working on a solution that does not inject but overlays a transparent window. Or at least this is the story as I understand it. jjb On May 19, 8:04 pm, niver <[email protected]> wrote: > Something changed in the Inspect Element function between 1.4.0a23 and > 1.4.0a24, because I'm unable to inspect some complex javascript- > generated webpage since then.
