The line I had before updating was: import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI after the update there were two lines: import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI and import WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI I commented out the short line and added the original line back. But autocomplete for WebUI does not work. Also some of the WebUI keywords (not all) have an error on the line. Also the problem mentioned where i can no longer drag and drop from the keywords browser appeared ---

Moving this to bugs category (and changing the title). Keep in mind the devs are in UTC+8 or something like that… be a few hours yet before they’re awake. ---

Hi @frederic.jones, Please share your imports script using in v7.8.2 and the imports script changed after opening in v7.9.0 here. If previously your imports script like this: ```auto import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords import WSBuiltInKeywords as WS import WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI ``` please manually change to: ```auto import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI ``` Thanks ---

That was the first change I made yesterday. But even after saving the WebUI keywords uses still had the gray underline like they were not recognized. also when i tried to use a new WebUI keyword it would not autocomplete with the available commands. This only happened with my keywords. My test cases seemed ok but i could not add new WebUI keywords and have them recognized. I am downloading the 7.9 to see if a clean install is behaving differently that an upgrade ---

It would help a lot if you posted some screenshots of what you’re seeing. > [@frederic.jones](#): > > I am downloading the 7.9 to see if a clean install is behaving differently that an upgrade Just so we’re clear…    ALWAYS download and install SIDE-BY-SIDE.    NEVER overwrite an old version with a new version. If you tried to overwrite your old version, THAT might explain some of the weirdness. One of the key changes in 7.9 is a new version of Eclipse IDE - something that gave me a problem to solve. In addition, if you keep the old version (at least for a while) and you encounter problems, it’s easy to switch back and make comparisons. Good luck. ---
