Originally reported on Google Code with ID 6105

Selenium version: 2.34 and 2.35
OS: OS X 10.8.4
Browser: Firefox
Browser version: 20, 21, 22, 23

When calling ActionChains.move_to_element, in versions of Selenium prior to 2.34, the
element in question would be scrolled to if it was not currently visible. Starting
with Se 2.34 this is no longer happening.

I have attached a reduced test case which reproduces the issue. When running the attached
script on Se 2.33 or earlier, the element is scrolled into view and the console should
read:

Is the text bubble visible? True

However, on Se 2.34 and 2.35 it will not be scrolled into view and the console will
read:

Is the text bubble visible? False

I tested this on several version of Firefox for Mac.

Do you have mouse cursor inside the browser window?

'mouseover' operation in Firefox is sensitive to mouse position, it should be inside

the browser window for hovering to be persistent (it is registered in another issue)

Thanks for looking into this.

I have run the test with the mouse cursor both inside and outside the browser window
and it makes no difference. The issue is not that the hovering is not persistent, the
issue is that move_to_element is not scrolling the element into view.

As stated above, in Se 2.33 and earlier, move_to_element would scroll the element into
view, which in Se 2.34+ the element is no longer being scrolled into view, so it is
being reported as not visible.

Hello,

the bug is still present. Is there something new?

You write in the second comment that another issue exists. What is the ticket number?

Thanks.
