Test case: Right-click on the yellowo pseudo-element and choose 'Inspect Element' from the context menu at this page: data:text/html,<!DOCTYPE html><style type="text/css">p::before{content:"pseudo-element";margin-right:5px;background-color: yellow;}</style><p>text</p> You'll see that the <p> tag gets selected within the Inspector panel instead of the pseudo-element. Sebastian
That's because the right-click event used to open the menu doesn't have the pseudo-element as its target, but the parent element instead. This is similar to bug 1076912.
