    So this started happening to me with the August release of the software I reverted back to my older version that I had in my downloads folder and the ctrl + click functionality came back. What version of power automate do you have installed? 

     

    I have the issue on 2.23.114.22217, but when I install the older 2.22.263.22202 version everything works as intended. I read somewhere on these forums to try an older version and sure enough that did the trick. Any MS employee that can confirm this bug and if its going to be addressed in future versions?

    Hi @Nived_Nambiar 

     

    - Did you try it on any other machine and does it produce the same issue? This will help to identify a few things.

    - Is this URL public that you can share here for anyone to take a look at? (external Onedrive video is blocked at my place).

    Hi @VJR 

     

    No, i am not able to try in another machine as this is for learning purposes

     

    well, you can have look at url 

     

    https://excelcult.com/QuizApp/end.html

     

     

    I think it seems to be bug as earlier reponses to this query is like that

    I have experienced this before with some web pages. 

    Probably because this is just a pure .html page as seen in the URL.

    Your options are to use the recorder and then go to the UI elements tab to check the elements and then access them.

    Hi @VJR 

     

    Thank you for teh suggestions

     

    well, when i tried to access the webpage in edge instead of chrome, ui elements were highlighted once, but after that it is not highlighted after that.

     

    Also Wait for element seems to be stuck for a longer period of time than the timeout, in case element is present in webpage.

     

    Do you think this is the bug with latest update ?
