Adblock Plus 2.8.1.4224-beta

Paste the following text into a test.html file on your disk:

<html>
  <body>
    <div id="div">
      This should not be hidden.
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

Add the filter ###div.
Open that HTML page in your browser (location should be something like file:///foo/bar/test.html).

The text on the page is hidden.

The text should be visible - element hiding rules aren't supposed to apply to file:///.

Fixed.
