Appium-desktop: Elements are not highlighted in the preview screen on selecting Ids from the search result

Appium or Appium Desktop?

You are reporting an issue at the Appium Desktop repository. Appium Desktop is a wrapper around Appium. If you are having trouble running tests, it is much more likely that the problem you are encountering is not a problem with Appium Desktop but with Appium. For that reason we require you to have tried your testcase with Appium CLI before reporting issues. Check the checkbox below to confirm that you have proven your issue does _not_ reproduce on Appium itself:

• [x] I have verified that my issue does not occur with Appium and should be investigated as an Appium Desktop issue

The problem

Upon searching for an element with a valid selector, the matching elementIDs are returned like earlier but on selecting the ID, the corresponding element is not highlighted anymore in the preview screen with the latest version of Appium Desktop.

Environment

• I am running Appium Desktop version 1.12.0.
• I am on (pick one):
  
  
  
  • [x] Windows
