mobile.scrolltoText will work and sometimes not work. Whenever I run my test I see it on the log viewer when it runs…but when I try running again…it will not run and skip it. which will fail the test. When I look at the log I don’t see anything in the log. ---

I am also facing the same problem. Mobile.scrollToText most of the time does not work…The screen does not scroll at all but the log marks it passed. Katalon version: 6.1.2 OS: Mac ---

Hi, @duyluong , thanks for the concern. In my case, I have a long **side navigation overlay** , so the scenario is that after I click on a button to show the side nav, I want to **scroll down** to find a text view and click on it. Also, Mobile.scrollToText atually works on regular pages but fails to do its things on a long side nav overlay. Even though screen not scroll, log always says passed. ---

Hi @757255712, Could you show your script and the execution logs in Log Viewer and Console? ---

@duyluong After reviewing the scrollToText doc ### Description Scroll to an element which contains the given text. I actually found the reason that caused the issue 😅 It is because that I was trying to scroll to the **exact text** ‘account’, but in the current page, it **already had** a text(user account) that **contained** ‘account’🤨, so it appeared to not scroll at all, but for the scrollToText function, it actually did its job, so katalon marked it as passed…😓 So now the question is: how do I scroll to an exact text?🤔 ---

For anyone else having the same problem. When working on a website with automatic scrolling I had to add a delay to wait for the Javascrip scrolling to finish before using the ScrollToElement-Keyword also the smae problem goes for clicking on an element by the way. ---
