UI element picker does not work

Posted on by tos-nakamu

It works on the main screen, but when implemented on the sub-screen, the red frame is not displayed.

When this happens, System.OverflowException may occur.
Also, if I add a UI element in the main screen and then execute it in the subscreen, it clicks elsewhere without error.

If you use click on Window activities instead of Browser it will work.

Or you can try using Browser activities but having two different browsers set up. so you would need %Browser1% and %Browser2% for example. Not sure if this will work though. Good luck.

Yes, this is a common issue. The Web UI elements essentially work when the Browser is on the main screen. Otherwise it doesn't. It's a common and well known issue. The only thing we can do at this point is report this to MS support and hope they will eventually fix this when enough people complain.
