"show me the page" behaves differently depending on how you've already looked at the page

[sbleon]

Hi, Steven! I've been trying to use "Then show me the page" to help debug my tests. It should be an invaluable debugging tool. However, it seems to behave really erratically when using XHRs. What I'm seeing is that unless you look for something in the page that was put there as a result of the XHR, you won't see it in the "show me the page" output.

I've got some simple tests in my project here: https://github.com/sbleon/envjs-test The tests you should check out are in https://github.com/sbleon/envjs-test/blob/master/features/show_me_the_page_test.feature . Please read the comments at the top of that file for a description of what I'm seeing when I run the tests.

Thanks!

PS. This behavior is disturbingly reminiscent of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and Schroedinger's Cat ;-)
