  For items in a combobox that need scrolling in order to
  perform a click action for selection, playback fails.
  

Problem conclusion

• The combobox is populated by JQuery and this technology not
  supported by RFT. For options not in the visible area, it is
  possible that the population of this data is done
  dynamically. As a result, the click of the object when it
  has to be scrolled might not happen as expected.
