Since my system has upgraded to 137.0b3, valid selectors that previously worked against our application DOM don’t seem to work.

Has there been an intentional change, or is there a bug here?

I’m noticing in particular for XPath type selectors, like:
//div[text()="DIVTEXT"]

Indeed there was some changes that impacted the xpath search.
I filed 1952836 - Attribute xpath search (e.g. `//div[text()="hello"]` ) in markup view doesn't work anymore to fix this

Thanks a lot for the report!

In the meantime, you can use $x('//div[text()="DIVTEXT"]') in the console to run such xpath search

thanks very much. I’ll try that out in console.
