Even in Chrome it’s just unresponsive by using Alt~ nothing got captured. Any suggestions? ---

Thanks Vinh, finally figured out the issue - it was simply due to my keyboard setting in order to capture objects I have to use Alt+ @ Regards Paolo. ---

Hi there, I can spy without no problem on Chrome using [http://bbc.co.uk](http://bbc.co.uk) web application. [[Album] Imgur ![](https://i.imgur.com/HqD7jOo.jpg?fb "Imgur") ](https://imgur.com/a/UsYVQ) Do you observe any strange behaviors when starting object spy from Katalon Studio? Thanks ---

Thanks for the quick response unfortunately I can’t send the link to the website I’m testing because the access is locked down to internal office use only, however I have tried the BBC one [http://www.bbc.co.uk/](http://www.bbc.co.uk/) and I had the same result I cant’ capture any of the objects present on the page -Cheers ---

Hi Paolo Which site are you using to spy object? Can you provide it and I can access it so that can try capturing on it? Are there some objects you can’t capture or all of the objects on your web application? Thanks ---

Unfortunately I can’t see any green flash effect when holding Alt then pressing ~ I can see the message "Capture object Alt+~ Load DOM map Crtl Alt ~ but nothing happens when I do it ---

Hi there, Have you seen any green flash effect when you press Alt + ~? Try holding Alt and then press ~ key to see if it’s more responsive. Regards
