           Summary: DOM tree selection disappears upon page refresh
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Web Inspector doesn’t restore selection for DOM element (HTML tree in the
Elements pane) upon page refresh. This is crucial for front-end developers,
because we develop sites locally and rely on instant feedback in the browser
for any minor change done in the source code (may it be CSS, HTML or
JavaScript).

Steps to reproduce: 

1. Open the latest WebKit.app, and right-click on "How can I help" header from
the default homepage and choose "Inspect Element"
2. Web Inspector will open and <h2> element will be selected
3. Press Cmd+R to refresh that page
4. Web Inspector will not close, but the selection will be gone – going back to
<body> element

What is supposed to happen: If the selected element is still present in the DOM
after page refresh, select it again after refresh.

For any other feedback / ideas, I suggest running Firefox + Firebug. They’ve
implemented it.

Thanks a lot,
Peter
