Instead of doing two ClickItems as a work around can you try something like:

 

views_dropdown.WaitProprety("Exists",true,10000);
views_dropdown.WaitProprety("Visible",true,10000);
views_dropdown.WaitProprety("Enabled",true,10000);
views_dropdown.ClickItem(item);

That many waits might be overkill, but should at least tell us if it's a timing issue like tristaanogre mentioned.

Thank you cunderw  

 

I ran your code, the log message says "Unable to perform the action because the control is invisible." , no error before that. 

 

I don't believe it is the time issue.  the same object can do Click() but right after that cannot ClickItem(). I think it is something to do with the ClickItem().  I have found that i had to do ClickItem() twice to make sure the action really happens it the other 3 scripts.  Also another project has the same issue with ClickItem() sometimes get skipped as well.  

 

When I have 2 lines of ClickItem()s, if they both work, the ClickItem() happens twice. The log message shows 2 Event. 

When one does not work, (usually the first line) it just get skipped and the second line does the ClickItem(), with no error message. The log message only shows 1 Event.

    I would open a support ticket with smartbear. If you are not seeing both events being logged it seems like something is amiss.
