           Summary: Web Inspector hangs Safari
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: geoffers+webkit at gmail.com


If you start typing an XPath query in the search box in the web inspector, it
attempts to evaluate the search on every time a character is entered. If the
query begins with "//*", this hangs WebKit (56k elements does that…). Perhaps
it should have a slight delay, but ultimately XPath should probably be
optimized itself.

In short: searching for //* hangs WebKit.
