Selector doesn't actually select

Web Scraper version:
Site: https://www.performics.com/about/leadership/#us-executive-team

The selector box does pop up and shows highlighted elements but when I select what I'm looking for the box remains empty.

Its properly docked at the bottom

Hi!

Well, it's not a bug, you can notice that dev panel returns an error to the right top of the dev panel.

Inspecting the error will result in a JavaScript function on a website that returns 'null' for innerHTML of the container that has info you need.

You can still try to manually select needed elements using Browser Inspect tool (Ctrl+Shift+C) and then copy it's 'Selector', and then pasting it into Selector of WebScraper.

After that you need to 'cut' out unnecesary class name out of selector, i did that with try and error, you just need to know how a website works in general.

Result of accurately selected items using Broser Inspect Tool
