Watir won't select / find the link element

I've came to this problem for quite a few times now.

It appears that Watir won't find the anchor (link) element, when I want to find it by the following syntax:

@browser.link(:text => 'View page directly').click

If I try checking link presence it will say that it doesn't exist, although the link is there.

Here is the link to original source code that causes this behavior: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3290107/watir-test.xhtml

Why is this happening and how to fix it?

Thanks for help

This looks like a bug to me. You should report it here: https://github.com/watir/watir-webdriver/issues

browser.a(:text => "View page directly").present?
# => false 

browser.as[-2].text
# => "View page directly" 

browser.as[-2].present?
# => true
