(In reply to comment #10) > (From update of attachment 19617 [details] [edit]) > Landed as r30910 > r30910 was for Windows - this still affects OS X. Updating it to reflect this.

This bug is really annoying for web developers. If you're working on a bug and switching to any webpage to look a documentation, you have to quit the inspector every time.

Since last changes in behaviour (timeout for highlighting), this bug seems irrelevant now.

It is certainly well hidden, but the issue still remains. New steps to reproduce: 1) Open 2 tabs in a WebKit window. 2) Inspect element in one of them, and mouse-over a node to highlight it 3) Right-click/control-click the node you are mousing over, displaying a context menu 4) Select "Copy" (or any other option in the list) from this context menu 5) Click the WebKit window to bring it to the front 6) Change tabs Highlight still present. So, hidden? Yes. Fixed? No. It is fine as is since it is much less annoying, but since the problem is still there it might crop up later if the behavior ever changes again, or in any other places that the timer can be circumvented.

Can't reproduce this. I think the highlights use a different implementation now (InspectorOverlay) which is specific to the Page, not the viewport.
