Originally reported on Google Code with ID 2112

Symptoms:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: '[JavaScript Error: "Permission denied to access
property 'blur' from a non-chrome context"]' when calling method: [wdIMouse::click]


What steps will reproduce the problem?
I get this error from different invocations in the code. Following, two examples:

Example [1]:        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='uploadAP01_rig']/option[text()='"
+ rigName + "']")).click();
Example [2]:        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='uploadAP01_rig']/option[text()='No
RIG required']")).click();

I cannot find anything relevant prior these invocations, as there are some other tests
executing similar calls that do not fail. The error is not deterministic, but within
my few tests the error always appears in some of them.

What is the expected output?

In previous Selenium 2.0rc3, everything has worked fine. In Debian wheezy + Iceweasel
5.0 it also works with the current Selenium 2.1.0

 What do you see instead?
Part of the stacktraces (I'm also attaching the selenium reports for one of these tests):

Please can you give us a reduced test case for this so that we can replicate it locally

Ok. It seems that the error has to do with the way I'm using the driver. I have downloaded
the content of the page under test before the test fails, and it turns out that it's
not yet complete. Thus, the invocation:
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='compID']/option[text()='Option Text']")).click();

is "clicking" an option of a select that is still not downloaded.

I don't know why this has worked with the previous Selenium 2.0rc3, nor why it didn't
fail in other O.S. Maybe has to do with the way Selenium detects that the page was
loaded correctly?

I'm working on the "reduced" test. I'll send it when its ready.

After a few hours trying to write a simplified test case, I'm afraid I have to abandon
--I cannot afford it--: the error seems to depend on how the html is generated, and
the code producing this html is quite complicated.

In any case, I attach the html of the "page under test" as the driver has seen it before
failing, and the (too much simplified) relevant code that exercised it, just to be
"visually" inspected. If I ever get a simpler test failing, I'll send it.

As a note about the unpredictable "reproducibility", I run the test 20 times, failing
8 times with the mentioned error and 9 time with a timeout.

Ok. I have tried a bit more and found that if I "click" the "select" before "click"ing
the option, the test succeeds:


        // First click the select
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='uploadAP01_rig']")).click();

        // Then click the option
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='uploadAP01_rig']/option[text()='"
+ rigName + "']")).click();


In any case, the error happened only on a 30-40% of the times I run the test (more
than 50). It depends also on the time it takes to execute its actions.

A lot of work has been done on this area and with Firefox. Please can you retest and
let us know if it is still an issue
