Firefox 13 broke outlining in Web Developer Toolbar?

I rely pretty heavily on the Web Developer Toolbar, and after upgrading to Firefox 13, the feature where the current element is outlined when viewing style information under CSS no longer works.

I would prefer not to downgrade to Firefox 12 if I don't have to. Can someone confirm if the problem showed up for them, and whether there might be a solution?

Thanks

Haven't tested it yet, but the Developer confirms this problem too and claims to already have it solved in the beta release of the next version: http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/beta/

There is also a ongoing discussion about this in the forums on his site: http://forums.chrispederick.com/discussion/41/red-box-for-element-information-is-gone

But sadly some people still seem to have problems with this feature in the beta.

+1 for cor-el

Basically, instead of the beta (which doesn't work either as it removed the option completely), Simply hit Ctrl + Shift + i

That will span a tool that is even better to replace the same purpose :)
