1. Open any page 2. Right-click on any element, select "Inspect Element" 3. Web Inspector is opened but the <body> element (for HTML) is focused rather than the selected element 4. Inspect the Web Inspector. An error message is logged in the console. The regression was introduced in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/66012 - focusNode() is invoked in InspectorController::populateScriptObjects() before the main document is set for the InspectorDOMAgent instance (which makes focusNode() bail out prematurely).

r=me if you put the explanation you just put in comment #1 into the ChangeLog. That is what the ChangeLog is for! Note, you have the exact same patch as Ilya had on: <http://webkit.org/b/45374> Web Inspector: Selecting 'inspect element' always shows body in inspector instead of clicked element He put his patch up a little sooner though. I don't know if there is a policy or if it even matters. I was just looking for an explanation of this solution and you have a very good explanation here.
