I am developing an automated test robot with fobotramework (python) I get this error message after I run it: ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable (Session info: chrome = 89.0.4389.72)  
Here is the code:

> ```
> Click Element //input[@id='fs_nyilatkozat_tudkut']
> ScreenShot FlipSwitchKijelolve.png
> Click Element //button[@id='bt_benyujtas'] 
> Screenshot FlipSwitchKlikkAfterSleep.png
> 
> ```

What’s wrong, why doesn’t it work?

The [notes on ElementNotInteractable Exception](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/trunk/py/selenium/common/exceptions.py#L169) say “Thrown when an element is present in the DOM but interactions with that element will hit another element due to paint order”. Does the screenshots indicate the same?
