Attachment: nth-of-type selector in Inspector search.mp4

Typing or pasting in the selector won't do a selector match, but a text match instead. Same issue as in Bug 1327740.

To reproduce this issue, make sure to type the selector, and select the first option from the auto-suggest dropdown (note the selector is cut-off there).

After pressing enter to use the suggestion option, notice the selector is trimmed to drop the pseudo-class part.
