Hi,

As mentionned here :

Zooming out a website

At least one of the “issues” i had with scroll element to view was that it just brings the element into viewport but if the page has a toast/static footer that has higher Z order than anything else, interactions where still failing because that toast was still on top of my element i was trying to scroll into view. Another “possible” issue was that even without a toast, scrolling the viewport ended if even 1 pixel row of the element was already in the viewport. But about this one I’m not sure i…

Sometimes the Scroll just brings the top of the element in page and stops.
Then either it is not really interactable, or visually hidden (behind a footer).

When you debug step by step behavior, does the element really appear fully on the screen ? It’s not clear if your error is on scroll action or click, but :

If yes i.e. scroll works, click fails:

• Maybe the xpath/locator to scroll can not be the same for click (use axes maybe like parent, ancestor…)
• Click action is too fast, you would use a Wait that element is visible or enabled
• The element is not fully in the page, so maybe again use axes to point out the next element to add some kind of scroll offset

If scroll fails :

• As previous first point, locator to click might not be the same to scroll and need adjustment
• The path/locator might not be wrong, but doesn’t act on what you expect (scroll an upper or wider element already visible for example)
