Details

STR: 1. open any page. 2. Open the web console. 3. write document.body and press enter. => the <body> element should be output. 4. hover the element quickly, for example pass the mouse from up to down. => notice that sometimes and actually very often, the blue highlight on the page doesn't disappear until we hover it again, but more slowly. I think this is one of my #1 frustration. Note that at step 3 it shouldn't be too quick as in that case no highlight appears. So a good way to trigger it is to first pass it very quickly, but then do it again slower and slower until the issue appears.
I think this actually happens for quite a long time but I never really took the time to understand what happened.
Thanks for the report Julien! This happened to me too and yes it's frustrating. Honza

So, the issue happens on other panels as well, see Bug 1358983. We could maybe fox this at the reps level, but that wouldn't fix the inspector issue. I'm marking this as dupe of 1358983, let's see if we can get it fixed soon.
