Chrome is crashing during playback when simulating the use of the ALT key for testing hot keys.


We're testing the hot keys in our application and anytime during playback that we try to use the ALT key to activate a button, chrome crashes everytime for everyone.

 



We can use the CRTL and SHIFT keys during playback to activate buttons without any issues but not the ALT key.



Has anyone encountered this issue in Chrome?

    Hi William,


     


    I've got the latest news from our R&D team. This issue was fixed in TestComplete 10.5. Please check if you still observe the crash after upgrading.

    Hi William,

     


    What Chrome and TestComplete versions are you using?


    Did I get it right that you don't use Chrome in your test? You are just pressing keys over your tested app. BTW, what kind of app are you testing?

    Hi Tanya,


     


    Chrome Version:


    37.0.2062.103(Official Build 291558)m


     


    Test Complete Version:


    10.30.1145.7


     


    Application:


    Web/Java/Ajax/Oracle/MSSQL


     


    We are using Chrome in our test.  I did try to reproduce the issue in Internet Explorer but all works fine in IE.


     


    In one of our test scripts we are using the Keys Operation and a "~l" which is the hot key for the button we want to activate. Once the keystoke is smiulated in Chrome during playback, the browser immediately crashes.
