See picture above for reference.

Hi @Aaron Saunders​ ,

 

Can you refresh the Recorder >> Browser and try capturing again? I am able to capture the Email ID without any issues checkout below screenshots for your reference.

Hi @Aaron Saunders​ ,

 

Could you keep just the DOMXpath enabled under the Object Properties and try testing it out?

It doesn't matter what gets identified, as long as the XPath locates the desired element on page.

 

To test that, copy-paste the value in the DOMXPath into the inspection window(right-click -> Inspect -> Ctrl+F) and verify whether it returns a unique match or not.

 

If not, you have to tweak it a little.

 

Kind Regards,

Ashwin A.K

Hello @Aaron Saunders​, Reported issue can be observed in a case when machine zoom or scaling level is not set to 100%

 

Go to browser settings and verify the zoom percentage, which should be set to 100%.

Also, make sure the text size is set to 100% (can be checked by navigating to: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display).

Try setting default Screen resolution and Size of text, apps and other items and check if it resolves issue.
