When a KendoListViewItem contains other controls inside of it, Test Studio will record clicking on the list view item instead of the specific control put inside that list item. When you go to play the test, Test Studio tries to click on the center of the list view item instead of the intended target control causing the test to fail. The only way to overcome this problem is to disable the KendoListViewItem translator and re-record your click. Then Test Studio records clicking on the right target element and playback is successful. A specific example from a real customers application can be found on the internal problem report.
