Question

I am using Selenium WebDriver 2.5.0 (tried 2.13.0, it did not help).
I am trying to click on a link like this:

driver.FindElement(By.PartialLinkText("Customer - Creation").Click();

Before it worked, but I have tried to run the scripts after 3 weeks and
I observe 3 different behaviors on 3 machines:

1. Machine A: There is no click on the link at all, also there is no error.

2. Machine B: It clicks a different link! Sometimes one above, sometimes one below.

3. Machine C (Virtual): It works.

I have not fully tested this (spent half a day today), but did anyone stumble upon such a behaviour?

I have restarted my PC, re-added the Selenium libraries.
“SendKeys(Enter)” helps, but this issue happened not only to links, but to at least radio boxes as well, where “SendKeys(Enter)” does not work.

Please share your thoughts.

Update: Browsers are the same on at least 2 machines, Internet Explorer 8.0

This issue keeps popping up from time to time and is usually returned with request for clarifications. The bottom line is, InternetExplorerDriver calculates coordinates of some objects incorrectly and clicks in the wrong place. One reason for this is zoom value other than 100%; however it is reproducible for some controls for 100% zoom as well.

I suppose it would be helpful if you could create a sample page to demonstrate this issue. In the meantime why don’t you use Javascript click() method for offending controls?
