Description

[vikneshwar]

Steps to reproduce : 

1) Open any webpage 

2) Open Inspector ( use Ctrl + Shift + C )

3) Step through the elments using Arrow keys 

Expected Result : 

The node should remain highlighted in the webpage . 

Actuall Result :

The node highlights for a second and disappears 

Description :

However the node remains highlighted when stepping over the elements using mouse . And Firebug and Chrome works fine with this . I think it would be good to preserve the highlighting when using arrow keys :)

This was originally done on purpose, but if other major devtools keep the element highlighted as soon as you start using the keyboard to navigate in nodes, I'm happy to change our behavior and align with them.
