Focus during real type and real click

[Mark]

I am having issues with fields being focussed to the top underneath a DIV in our web app. Is this still the only solution?

Hello Uroš,

This is a somewhat common problem. Your application has an overlay <div> element at the top of the browser window. Test Studio, when you have SimulateRealTyping, selected always wants to scroll the element to the top of the browser window in order to make sure it's visible in the browsers window before trying to type into the input box. Unfortunately in your case this has the side effect of scrolling it underneath your overlay div.

The only way to over come this is to convert the step to code then comment out the ScrollToVisible line of code, like this:
// Enter text 'passUser' in 'UsernameText'
Actions.SetText(Pages.CAFFA.UsernameText, "");
//Pages.CAFFA.UsernameText.ScrollToVisible(ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.ScrollToVisibleType.ElementTopAtWindowTop);
ActiveBrowser.Window.SetFocus();
Pages.CAFFA.UsernameText.Focus();
Pages.CAFFA.UsernameText.MouseClick();
Manager.Desktop.KeyBoard.TypeText("passUser", 50, 100, true);
The side effect is now you have to take extra care to insure the input box is visible before that step runs. Else typing won't go into that input field.

Hello Mark,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

The behavior of Test Studio has not been changed when Real User Actions are enabled therefore the target element is still scrolled to top. The only workaround we can provide is to convert the step to code and modify it as you have described.

However, if you need further assistance do not hesitate to contact us again.

That is *a lot* of test steps to convert. Any chance of adding an offset or something to assist in this area? We use bootstrap containers and this must be an issue quite a few people are running into.
