Describe the bug

Hi, thanks for all the work you do on this project - its awesome

I'm finding different problems when generating selectors in the app above in different cases:

1. The case with the tabs commented in the code above - it's like when the page it's initially loaded, playwright behaves different. After clicking a second tab, the selectors produced where the expected, i.e. using the 'Text' engine
2. The different behaviors when clicking the different 'Clone' links under the 'Setup' page. I expected different selectors, since there are several links with that text, but not the shown above
3. Finally, sometimes I click a simple link with a clear text, like 'Setup', and instead of getting a nice Text selector, I got a page.goto()
