Element cannot be scrolled into view:[object HTMLInputElement]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 3075

Upgraded to selenium server 2.15.0. 

Tests have been working through 2.14.0. Now running the same tests give the problem
for some elements:

java.lang.AssertionError: Element cannot be scrolled into view:[URL]
Command duration or timeout: 10 milliseconds
Build info: version: '2.15.0', revision: '15105', time: '2011-12-08 09:56:25'
System info: os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '10.6.8', java.version:
'1.6.0_26'
Driver info: driver.version: RemoteWebDriver

It seems to be an issue with the sizing of windows and elements being off the window
screen a bit but my tests require that the window size stay small to mimic mobile browsers.

My guess is the element being scrolled is a radio button? If so, this will be fixed
by 2.16.0 this week

Thanks! Waiting anxiously for 2.16.0 =)

I'm getting this on a bunch of things, I don't think they're just radio buttons.  I
get it on Windows XP and OS X, but not, oddly, on Windows 7 64-bit.

Hopefully 2.16 will fix it!

Any ETA?  "This week" above was rather more than a week ago (of course, holidays, so
not complaining, just wondering).

I regret to report that 2.16 doesn't fix this for us.  The following error occurs (and
many more like it) on 2.16 but *not* on 2.14:


  1) wrapper annotate conditions should re-assign files that are in the wrong tag
     Failure/Error: hover_and_move_slow( :xpath, "//span[contains(text(),\"IL-4 + IFN-g\")]",

At the time it's trying to drag a jquery dragabble element.  2.14 passes the whole
test suite, so it's definitely a new/bad issue.  :(

I just noticed that this is marked "fixed", which means it probably won't get any attention.
 If I don't hear anything in a day or so I'll open a new ticket.

@4: We watch all comments, and can re-open issues if they're still issues. A new issue
(or another comment on this issue) containing a minimal, complete reproduction case
(HTML, CSS, javascript, and ruby) would help us fix this problem!

Unfortunately, this only happens on my gf's machine, whether OS X or VMWare XP, and
not on mine, so (1) it's going to be a bit tricky to come up with a repro and (2) even
if I do, you might not experience; this never happens for me.

Hmm.  I wonder if it's to do with the display resolution?

Anyways, I'll see what I can come up with.

AH-HA! I've repro'd it by making my FF window really small.

Which doesn't help as it's a login-required site, but I'll see what I can do.
