Hi @qqilihq,

since recently I face the below error. I assume something in the interface changed to the worse:

I’d like to suggest extending the Click node by a feature to wait until the element becomes clickable because sometimes the UI is still being animated as Selenium is simply to fast.

I can say with certainty that the element is present and was found my a preceding Find Element Node. The element which wrongfully might receive the click is located to the left and should not get it et all.

Another suggestion might be to add an option to force click, mitigating false positives.

Best  
Mike

</div>

I believe I figured out the cause. The element ` <div class="flex-grow-1">` which would receive the click wrongfully seems to be an animated element which, upon calling the click, I assume at the upper left most pixel of the targeted element, has moved / shifted the layout.

The only workaround at the moment might be to artificially slow down the process to wait for the animation to commence.
