Ranorex starts to click just below the objects

[rastek]

I have been facing with this problem for a long time. Ranorex recognizes objects but clicks just below of the objects, that means Ranorex start to click about one inch below the actual object, so actually clicks on a empty place.

Does anybody face this problem ? It really annoys me.

Hi,

I've experienced this issue with IE and it was caused by unsupported HTML document version (5.0 in my case). If you are experiencing this problem in HTML, please check the page source and search for this code:

Code: Select all

<META content="IE=5.0000"

I believe the lowest document mode currently supported by Ranorex is 9.0?
Aside changing the document version in HTML source, the only workaround is to set higher Document Mode in IE dev. mode (F12) >> under Emulation tab.

Hope this helps?

Hi odklizec

I see other browers do not have this functionality, and for IE, I can not change this property everytime.

I changed it to 9 in IE (it was 7) and it start to recognize correctly bu still I wonder something

I wonder before I handled this issue playing with browser
restart, uncheck developer mode in extensions, etc etc. So, how it is coming up and disappear when I did not change document mode Ie ?

Another thing, how can it be changing document mode in IE affect other browsers also ?

Thanks,
Rastek.

Hi rastek,

Which version of Ranorex are you using?
Did you already try to update Ranorex to the newest version?
If this also doesn't fix the problem we would need access to your test page or at least a Ranorex Snapshot file.
