Troubles clicking Mainmenu-Items Windows 7
Hi all,
recently I updated to TC 7.52. I found a very strange behaviour running existing tests recorded with TC 7.1.
In this case TC is testing a windows-mdi-application. Most tests start by clicking a menu-item from the main menu
of the tested app. Most of these clicks do what they are supposed to.
Some do not work at all because the menu item is never clicked and therefore the following teststep cannot be
executed. If I slow down test-execution to be able to see how the menu-item is selected, I discovered that the
desired sub-menu is not selected due to the fact that the mouse leaves the dropdown-list and clicks somewhere
else.
What really bugs me is the fact that all of the tests have worked, and after restarting the test-suite I get hundreds
of errors where there are none? I do not want to change all of the tests to selecting the desired submenu by using
the down keys to navigate within the dropdown because this will only work until someone adds another item to the
list.
Any ideas, is this a bug? What can I do?
