RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1324254

Steps to reproduce

  1. On this page, right click on the mozilla logo, and select "inspect element"

Expected results

The inspector opens with the button#header-external-menu-button element selected

Actual results

The inspector does open, and at some point the button element will be selected in the markup view, but before, the <body> element is briefly selected, making it feel unpolished.


Same behavior happens if you navigate from the console when clicking on a logged element (and the inspector wasn't loaded yet)

Thanks. This is a duplicate of bug 1324254 (a 3 year old bug) which we haven't been able to get to.
Fixing it would be a really good perceived performance improvement for sure.
