XPath on WebElement (chained) does not return correct WebElement

[GoogleCodeExporter]

See http://goo.gl/ll2FvQ for common issues.

Issue Description:
In my application i have many dynamic objects with the same 
description/properties, therefore i am using parent objects to query ultimate 
desired object.

my code goes here. 
driver.findElement(By.Xpath("myxpath expression to find a 
table")).findElements(By.tagName("tr")).get(0).findElements(By.tagName("td")).ge
t(0).findElement(By.xpath("my xpath expression 2"))

my xpath expression 2 is : "//div[@class='amount']"

OK, so now the issue is there are more than 1 div which has class=amount 
if i will run this expression on document, it should return me array and from 
selenium, 1st index out of that array. 

but if i will run this expression on the element context it should return me 
only 1 element (or array with 1 elm, which is inside a table cell), in selenium 
i am still getting the first element (which is a critical issue).

I have tested my xpath expression in chrome dev tools, it gives results as 
expected. 

Thanks,
Manish Bansal

I am afraid its our companies internal application carrying financial data.. I 
might fall into trouble sharing even html of the page.. I will try to write the 
html myself to reproduce the scenario in weekend and comeback here with the 
sample.

Thanks,

we can use xpath index to find the correct element if there are multiple 
elements with same xpath

In your second xpath you can place an index as "(//div[@class='amount'])[2]" 
which will return second amount element

Please try with xpath index and let us know if you still facing the issue with 
latest chromedriver.
