Issues with dropdowns and ClickItem() not working if the dropdown opens in the up direction
We have been using TestComplete since version 14.93, and all versions of TestComplete, up to and including the latest versions (15.50 and 15.51) have had this same issue: We are doing Web testing ...
I would like to note that SmartBear has finally addressed our ClickItem issues in TC 15.63.22. The correct item is selected, the direction in which the dropdown list opens does not prevent a successful selection by causing an error, the necessary events are fired and the ClickItem step runs reasonably quickly (<= 1 second). It is obvious from watching tests run that it is not a true ClickItem that is being performed, but the way in which it is being simulated now is working for us.
