           Summary: Web Inspector element hilighting spans tabs, doesn't
                    recalculate on scroll, overlaps desktop, etc
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 523.x (Safari 3)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dylanryan at mac.com


This is, I believe, several related bugs that may require separate reports.
However, after recently using the Web Inspector, I managed to have the web
inspector's element hilighting (dark mask) over the desktop, completely outside
the Webkit/Safari window. 

Steps to reproduce: 
1) Open a few tabs
2) Inspect any element in one of them
PART 1: scroll the page while the inspector is still open. The dark gray mask
does not follow the element.
PART 2: Switch to a different tab. The dark gray mask still shows, it should
not. (also, if you do not have the tab bar always showing, opening a link in a
new tab while an element is hilighted and no other tabs exist causes the
masking color to cover the newly created tab-bar)
PART 3: While in a different tab than originally inspected, select a node in
the inspector. Sometimes (usually?), it hilights where the element would be if
it were in the current tab, but it isn't. Other times, nothing visibly happens
but switching back to the correct tab updates the mask. 


I honestly am not sure what i did to get the gray box completely outside of the
Safari window and over the desktop, and I have not been able to reproduce this
again, but it happened once (Screenshot forthcoming). I think it involved
trying to hilight the body of a tab that is not visible after moving the safari
window, but as I said I have not been able to get it to do this again.

Interestingly, when I did have the mask covering the desktop, moving the
safari/webkit window moved the mask as well, so it was still 'anchored' to the
window, it just had no idea where the window was. 


Some silver lining: It seems that the web inspector's mask does disappear if
the tab being inspected is closed, whether it is visible or not
