Issues finding an element in the second iteration.

I am having issues finding a WPF textbox when I repeat a test case in the same test suite run. Basically I have a simple data table and I set values of WPF textbox using that data table. Textboxes I am filling are mandatory and they are checked in real time. Test goes like this;
- Press a button to open a form in a new window.
- Validate the textbox is there.
- Ensure the textbox is visible.
- Focus on the textbox.
- Set the textbox text.
- Press a save button in the same window to save the data and close the window.

This test always succeeds if I run it once but it fails to find the textbox second time. Keeps searching and times out.

If I open the same form window again from a different button in the same test case, it focuses to the first textbox instead of focusing on to the one I want it to focus. I did try focusing on a different textbox and it failed for that as well.

I tried using a different WPF form window and I had the same issue, it doesn't work properly when you open the same window for the second time in a test case.

I am trying figure out it this is an issue with ranorex when using wpf elements or there might be something wrong going on in the background. I am not sure how to debug this issue, so any advice on that might be helpful. From what I can see in the report log it either doesn't find the textbox or it thinks it is doing everything correctly.

Hi,

Try to set the "Use Cache" property of failing element (its parent folder) to False, as described here:
