Originally reported on Google Code with ID 762

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use verifyElementPresent in the Selenium IDE to verify this CSS locator
"div.application_details tr:nth-child(1) span.label"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The element is not located. However, if I use
"div.application_details tr:nth-child(1)>td span.label", it is located. 
It seems that a direct child will make Selenium back to normal

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Selenium IDE 1.0, Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

I meet the same problem in Selenium IDE 1.9.
I try to use "css=div[id="xxx"]+div div[role=xxx]" to locate a element, but IDE cannot
find it except changing the sentence to "css=div[id="xxx"]+div>div[role=xxx]" . However,in
FirePath, the element can be located by "div[id="xxx"]+div div[role=xxx]".

Is this issue still actual?
For example, on the page https://code.google.com/p/selenium/
this command works as expected:
verifyElementPresent | css=div.st1 div:nth-child(1) a
