    Hi Håkan,



    I've reproduced the issue and filed a bug report for the developers to look into. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.



    As a workaround, you can use the Page.FindChild, Page.FindAllChildren or Page.NativeWebObject.Find method for the search. For example, instead of the //*[text()='Text'] XPath search, you can use page.FindAllChildren("contentText", "*Text*", 100).



    However, if you need a patch for this, please open a support ticket and refer to this thread.

function test(){

  var page = Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("http://smartbear.com/");

  var item = page.EvaluateXPath("//a[text()]");

}



In chrome Developer tools the same xPath returs 141 nodes and in TC 0 (or undefined)
