.click() fails to scroll checkboxes into view for a long form (scrolls to top instead) (Chrome) about testcafe HOT 8 OPEN

Hello, I managed to reproduce the issue.

As a workaround, try using t.dispatchEvent(target, 'click') and let us know if it worked for you.

Yes, the workaround does work. Thanks!

@Aleksey28 do you plan to implement the fix in the library? I see the workaround but would be great if it works OOTB when t.click is used.

It used to be working without native automation, as described in #8166.

Hi @darkowic,

Due to the workaround that exists, the priority of this issue is relatively low. That means that we don’t have immediate plans to work on this task, and I closed it for a while.

It's breaking user experience as it requires additional knowledge and usage of not "standard" API. Obviously, the workaround should be documented on the page but I don't see this will happen. Also, as I mentioned above, it use to be working before v3.

At least keep the issue open to not forget about this... Closed issue will be forgotten forever.

Hello, we researched the issue further and found that the root cause is quite complex to fix at the moment.

We will get back to this issue if we give it a higher priority in the future.

For now, the solution is to use the workaround.
