Version: 0.3.93 (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs First of all I should mention that I absolutely love rekonq. It's the first browser that I have been able to use effectively since Firefox (I've tried Konqueror, Opera). However, the one thing that kept me tied to FF was Firebug; I can't work without it. I am now trying to use Web Inspector (I've used it in Opera before) and it almost matches feature to feature as far as my workflow goes. But I do have one big problem with WI in rekonq; it does not *highlight elements on a page* when the mouse is hovered over the element's node in the DOM inspector. This is a big deal for me, as it has often helped me track down layout issues in my pages. I know Web Inpector can do this, because it did in Opera, and as far as I can tell in Safari it has the same behavior (http://www.codeofficer.com/gallery/image_full/75/). So this appears to be specific to rekonq. This is a very important feature to me personally, and I would think it would also be to anyone who uses rekonq for web development.
I thoguht I'd mention that I am running rekonq from the gitorious repo (mainline branch); so I'd be able to test drive changes right away. ;)
it looks like this is a missing feature in QtWebKit, as in arora the stuff is not highlighted either. (btw: Doesn't Opera use its own Web rendering engine, called Presto?) I reported it on the (Qt)WebKit bug tracker: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35125 putting this as upstream for now

I need it, too. :) Unfortunately, QtSoftware decided to drop support for this and wait for Qt 4.7. It's quite annoying, I have to admit. We'll have this feature in rekonq 0.6 (first release based on Qt 4.7).
Well, that's certainly a disappointment. I may still need to fire up Firefox (is that a pun?) occasionally, but at least my normal browsing sessions will be in a lovely KDE browser. ;) Do you have any sources for your information? Mailing list post, bug report, etc? I'd like to stay informed on this.
