Why "Inspect in IDEA" doesn't work in Intellij 13

I'm using InteliJ 13 and the Live Edit for HTML works great, but why when I directly click somewhere in the Chrome browser on the HTML element and select "Inspect in IDEA" from the context menu, nothing happens?

It shouldn't do what you think it does.

This gives you the ability to enter debug mode for the page in IntelliJ idea.
