UI element picker not framing browser elements

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 0guy 5

I've just updated to PAD version 2.21 and the UI element picker is no longer framing UI elements in browsers.

 

Other apps are framing correctly, and even the toolbars in the browsers are framing - it's the web content that's not.

 

I've restarted my machine & reinstalled the Chrome & Edge extensions with no change.

 

Has anyone else had this and found a fix/workaround?

 

Thanks in advance 😁

    Have you checked the power automate extension in chrome or Edge?

    Thanks @Ankesh_49 ,

     

    The problem is not that an action on a UI element is failing, it is that the UI element picker is not framing the elements in order to add them to PAD.

     

    So, when attempting to add UI elements by CTRL+clicking them with the UI element picker active, web elements are not getting framed in the required red frame. 
    To confirm, this is failing for ALL web elements (and not just the odd one here and there).

    Hi @Rahul7,

    I have indeed for both browsers. 

    I've confirmed that they're active and tried reinstalling them.
