Hi Marcin,
If a test fails, you can log a screenshot:
Run Keyword If Test Failed Capture Screenshot
(or Capture Page Screenshot), see [1] and [2].
Put that into the Test Teardown like:
* Settings * Test Teardown Teardown Selenium
* Keywords * Teardown Selenium Run Keyword If Test Failed Log Screenshot
Log Screenshot
to work around IE problems, we exclude the related browser profiles
Run Keyword If '${BROWSER_PROFILE}' != '_iexplore' and '${BROWSER_PROFILE}' != 'ie' and '${BROWSER_PROFILE}' != 'internetexplorer' and '${BROWSER_PROFILE}' != '_iehta' and '${BROWSER_PROFILE}' != 'iehta' Capture Page Screenshot
So that would cover all cases where the test fails.
About highlighting the "object under test", I assume you mean something like draw a green border around a certain element in the page? Do you have exact ideas or an example of what you would like to do?

I would be good to have flag/option that will automatically make screen shot on Fail or other unexpected behavior. Also it would be good to highlight object which is under testing e.x. for example object which is provided as location for validation/input.
