Unable to Validate tooltip using the 'T' shortcut when hotkeys is enabled

[WilPower]

Hi All,

Please see the Snapshot attached. I am unable to validate a tooltip.

STEPS I FOLLOW:

I enable the hotkey functionality while recording
I press the validate button
I hoover over the icon and the tooltip appear as expected
I press the letter 'T' to evoke the validation for the tooltip
However nothing happen and the validation action does not appear.


Please be so kind to assist.

Respectfully,
WilPower

Hi WilPower,

Tooltip hotkeys work only if the tooltip is actually an element that is a direct child of the element that you are currently hovering over. More often than not, this is not so. I can show you the following steps:

1. Have Ranorex Spy open.
2. Hover over something in your web-application that shows a tooltip:

3. Press Ctrl+LeftWin and don't look for the tooltip in the dom, look outside, in 99% of cases it will have its own form:

I see that your snapshot is also of a dom, so I expect to see the same.
Does this help?
