TestComplete: Desktop app in Cobol and TC crash when I try to ObjectSpy it
I am looking into if I can automate an older company app written in COBOL, 32-bit. I am using TC 15.73 Pro. x86 I am running the app 'As an Admin' alone with TC 'As an Admin' After opening the desktop app, and trying to look at it in the Object Browser tree or ObjectSpy it, I get an app crash along with a TC crash. Any suggestions from folks here on options to try to get this to work?

All, I have the TestComplete Pro package Desktop/web, etc. I have MSAA setup also. The above scenario is a 'Print PDF' button is selected which then opens up the Download window, where I then need to click on 'Save as', etc... I've been a user of TC many years and the the above functionality comes and goes with the constant updates from Chrome and Edge. I just gave up trying to ask SmartBear to keep up with the changes. It would be nice if there were patches supplied from SmartBear when browsers change, but again the browsers change so much these days, it would be hard to keep up and waiting for the corrections in the minor releases take time. This was more of a check to see if others have this issue too. ThanksMS Edge 133.0.3065.92 : Downloads window NOT being recognized by TestComplete 15.72
I've asked the question many times over the years and lately I've just gone along with this being broken. I've submitted tickets, it gets addressed eventually, but then some other pop-up window breaks. That pop up issue gets fixed, and the the Downloads is broke again. I noticed in my current code, I've just hard-coded coordinates over the past few releases to click on the 'Save As' button for this unrecognized Edge Downloads window. I noticed lately even that code was broke because the Downloads button layout changed. It is now as such: I need to use 'Save As' to control where my file goes and a name change as well and not use automatic download. I want to throw this question back out to the TestComplete community, Anyone experiencing this issue?
