ButtonHelper.click_button does not work if button if off-screen

[westy]

Perhaps test to see whether can move the mouse to it, and if not call element.click rather than using actionchains?

Just re-created this when testing something else, so will have a tinker and see if can detect it.

Hmm, capturing the selenium.common.exceptions.MoveTargetOutOfBoundsException and then trying button.click still fails, with an element not interactable error, presumably for the same reason.

Tried using JavaScript to scroll into view, but it doesn't appear to work for horizontal in the case I am looking at.

Hmmm.

Here's the diff of what I have tried.
Don't think it's a goer.
