Did this get resolved, or did you give up?  
I must admit, I never use the “select” button inside the selector window; I always use the record button. Does it behave the same way while you are recording, or is this only when using the select button inside the selector? You mention it works once you click an element, so I assume this is a cosmetic/user experience issue and not so much a technical issue, is that correct?

Are you using Firefox, Chrome, or some flavor of Chrome? Do you have multiple monitors? Have you changed DPI settings?
