Comment 2

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

Maja, I think that this regression is related to the recently landed patch on bug 1393831. Can you please have a look?

Comment 3

[Alexei Barantsev]

I'd not say it's a regression. We just did not try to run this test before the mentioned patch has been landed. But it was expected that the patch fixes this case. Unfortunately, it does not.

Comment 4

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

Oh, you are right. It was already not working before.

Comment 5

[Maja Frydrychowicz :impossibus (was :maja_zf) (needinfo me)]

Thanks for the report.

https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/901 reported an issue with the performActionz command, and that was fixed in Bug 1393831.

However, the trace log in in Comment 1 refers to the clickElement command, not performActions, so it has nothing to do with Bug 1393831.

Comment 7

[Sohail Haider]

Any Update on this issue. As it still persists in Webdriver and I'm using it for protractor and getting this issue in firefox 64.

Comment 8

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

The child `div` actually fully overlays the anchor element, and as such this is a dupe of bug 1374283.
