If TestComplete is failing to highlight a particular object, and instead highlights the entire page when using the Object Spy tool, it implies that SmartBear Test Extension is either not installed or disabled in Chrome

    It is installed and working, this is only happening when clicking something on the webpage opens a new tab or window in the browser.

      A while back, when I was using TestComplete v15.71.4.7 with Google Chrome v131.0.6778.265, I logged the following issue "Object Spy tool is not able to identify individual objects, after navigating back or forwards" when using XPath. 

      I'm able to identify "W3Schools How To", and Object Spy tool shows all the relevant information.

      However, when navigating back to the previous page, 

      TestComplete fails to identify individual objects.

      Seems like similar behaviour is occurring again. I suggest opening a Support Ticket.
