    Hi,

     

    It looks like a column was removed from the table.

    Was the tested application changed?

    Are the browsers used for testing the same?

    Can you ask your developers if there is anything in the code that might remove that column?

    I would suggest you to examine page structure with the help of Developer Tools in the browser (F12) on both machines and check if the extra column indeed present on the machine with TC 12 and is absent on the machine with TC 14.

     

    P.S. No need to make a subject capitalized. This provokes people to ignore it.

     

    P.P.S. There is no need to create identical messages daily either.

    After investigating the issue with TestComplete developers we found out that TestComplete 14 works correctly and its recognition is proper.

     

    It looks like TestComplete 12 had a bug in this specific case as a result, the objects were mapped incorrectly.

    AlexKaras Hopefully you watched the Video link in the post.

     Browser Version is the same in both cases, even on the same machine. so the issue occurs at the TestComplete side.

      Hi,

       

      Have you examined page markup using Developer Tools? What is the result?
