Known Issues
TestComplete may not identify Silverlight application objects in Internet Explorer 11.
Workarounds:- Process the Silverlight application with the tcAgPatcher utility.
- Use another version of Internet Explorer.
MSAA object identification does not work for Flash and Flex applications in Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.
Workarounds:- Use another browser, for example, Mozilla Firefox.
- Use another approach for Flash and Flex object identification. For example, compile the application with the FlexClient library, or use the debug version of Flash Player with the FlashInjector module.
When recording tests on Windows XP with the Standard theme, you may see drawing artifacts in applications after moving the Recording toolbar.
Test Visualizer does not capture screenshots on loop iterations from the second onwards.
Changing a project that is stored in SourceGear Vault and is checked out by another user causes TestComplete to exit unexpectedly.
Workaround: Make sure the project you are editing is not checked out by another user.
