(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Art Parmet]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091206 SeaMonkey/2.0.1
Build Identifier: DOM 2.0.4,  Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091206 SeaMonkey/2.0.1

Activating the View/Blink Selected Element command does not result in any element blinking in the browser pane. This is the case for any File:Inspect Chrome or Content Document or URL selection. All applicable DOM View menu and Preferences:Advanced:DOM Inspector settings are configured correctly. 

This problem exists with DOM 2.0.4 on SM2.x and FF3.5.x. Possibly on earlier versions as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insure Preferences:Advanced:DOM Inspector settings are correct for blinking. 
2. Open the DOM Inspector 
3. Activate View:Blink Selected Element.
4. Open a content or chrome document or URL via File menu and hit Inspect.
5. Click on any node in the Document DOM Nodes pane.
Actual Results:  
The corresponding element does not blink in the Browser pane.

Expected Results:  
The corresponding element should blink according to the parameters configured in the Preferences:Advanced:DOM Inspector settings.

This problem is independent of the selected theme. Default and 3rd party themes have been tried.

Although not confirmed, I have heard reports that this may be a MacOS X specific problem.
