Spy tool unanable to resolve Chromium Edge downloads window

Hi all,

 

Is anyone able to spy the MS edge browser (91.0.864.41) pinned downloads window  opened with Ctrl+J?

 

The top-level window is possible but the elements it contains cannot be highlighted.

 

We're using the desktop module and have tried UIA and MSAA without success.

 

It does appear in the Object Browser and it is possible automate it in code.

 

We have a preference for using TestComplete out-of-the-box functions and keyword tests rather than coding.  We use code for things that cannot be done in any other way.

 

Not being able to spy objects makes our test more dificult to maintain when things break so we're looking for a solution.

 

Any ideas?

  • An update.  If I disable the TestComplete browser extension it works!
