Recording problem on Slashdot

I think I'm having the same problem. I just installed the latest version of Sahi (Build: 2010-03-02) with Firefox on a Mac (10.6). After I start a recording it records the first link and then stops. My steps:
- Start Shai on the command line,
- Launch Firefox (already correctly configured to use the 9999 proxy)
- Navigate to slashdot.org
- Double-ALT click to launch the controller
- Enter a script name and click Record.
- Click a link on the web page. This click gets added to the script (and displays in the "Evaluate expression" box).
- Click another link. Nothing gets recorded to the script or displayed in the "Evaluate expression" box
At this point it has completely stopped recording, no matter what I click on. CTRL mousing over elements don't show up in the Accessor field. It's as if it just stopped working. I have to restart Firefox to get it started again.
This is my first time using Sahi, so I might just be doing something wrong.

I am splitting this issue since I think it is not the same as the https one you filed this under.
I recorded a script on slashdot and it seems to record fine. Try these:
1) Clear your browser cache and try again.
2) If you are navigating to an HTTPS site, make sure you do these things: http://sahi.co.in/w/https-ssl
If you are just starting out, you can use a simple site like http://sahi.co.in/demo/ to get your feet wet.
Multi domains, public websites (which have ads), https etc can trip you up initially. (These work fine with Sahi, but the complexity of debugging them is higher.)
