Steps to reproduce: 1) Navigate to Telerik Silverlight examples app with recorder attached 2) Record a radcombobox dropdown 'Open' action against any radcombobox control in demo 3) Select this recorded step and Run -> Selected Steps Expected behavior: Step executes and opens the combobox on demo page Actual behavior: Step fails to execute with error below, the failure details suggest the visual tree was not up to date. Adding a coded step to refresh the visual tree (eg. Pages.TelerikComboBoxFor0.SilverlightApp.OwnerApp.VisualTree.Refresh();) and executing both together is able to workaround the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------ '11/6/2013 10:46:30 AM' - Using 'InternetExplorer' version '9.0' as default browser.
