It is a drop down and I have to select item from this dropdown. When playback this step, the element slides down from view and the item is not selected.
OK, that's an entirely different problem than highlighting causing the object to slide away.
So... some questions:
1) What type of application is this? Web? Desktop? Mobile?
2) What type of drop down is this?
3) Can you post screenshots of the drop down component and it's Advanced properties so we can help determine the best way to work with it?
4) What happens when you try recording the process of clicking on the item?
It is a web application and this dropdown is at the bottom of a modal window. This modal window has many drop downs but I am encountering issue with this one only. When I am highlighting this one or using clickitem method is slides down. I have also attached properties of the dropdown.
What happens if you call

The modal window slides down and the element is not visible on screen and the log information says, "There was an attempt to perform an action at point (47, 15) which is transparent or out of the window bounds."
