    Hi All,

    So i found out the root cause of the issue. Since all the drop down fields have same values, when it selects a value from the first drop down field, it stores that field's dom values or bounday values and though it opens the second drop down, it searches for the values in first drop down and since it couldn't find it, the test gave me out of the bounds error.

    Therefore, I made my xpath element more absolute(teels it in which dropdown, it should look for the values) and it resolved the issue.

    Hope it helps.

Hello,

I would recommend adding a delay before the clicks, even 300-500 ms makes a difference for some difficult drop downs. 

Also I would check to make sure where the click is occurring, make sure it is set to click at (-1, -1) which would click the middle of the button

Thanks for the idea.. But that doesn't work as well. Works fine for the first set of clicks and getting the same error for second set of clicks.
