Bug Report: Incorrect Component Detection in MCP Pointer

[Traves-Theberge]

Description

The MCP pointer tool (mcp__pointer__get-pointed-element) is returning incorrect element information. When pointing at a specific component on the page, it returns data for a different element instead.

Expected Behavior

The pointer should return information about the element that is actually being pointed at/hovered over by the user.

Actual Behavior

The pointer returned information for an H1 element with id "page-title" and text "Welcome", which was not the component being pointed at by the user.

Additional Notes

The user confirmed that the H1 "Welcome" element was NOT the component they were pointing at, indicating a detection or tracking issue with the pointer functionality.

Severity

Medium - The tool provides incorrect data which could lead to wrong element interactions.

Perhaps there is a caching issue, please advise on corrective measures.

Hi @Traves-Theberge, thank you a lot for reporting this bug! (sorry for the late response, I've been busy recently)

I'll investigate on this issue. Have you found a way to recreate it 100% of the time? I might have encountered this issue a few times but I didn't found a way to recreate it on purpose.
