Hello, FK, Yes, it was I thought, a bug, but I came ask here just to confirm.
I've tried the workaround, and I have no success. The error continues: D:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.5/lib/firewatir/ element.rb:907:in `assert_exists': Unable to locate element, using :xpath, "//*...@tabindex='4901']" (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException) And, yes, my tabindex is unique. Do you have any other sugestion? I'm not a specialist in xpath queries. Thanks!
