Element is not clickable at point

Meta -

OS: Windows 8.1 Selenium Version: 2.53.0, Browser: Firefox Browser Version: 45.0.1 (64-bit)

Expected Behavior -

I have some code in Java WebDriver In selenium build version 2.48.2 that: driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//span/span/span[text()=‘Profiles’]”)).click()

worked well

Actual Behavior -

This execution has stopped working in build version 2.53.0: driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//span/span/span[text()=‘Profiles’]”)).click()

I have ERROR:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at point (1056, 528). Other element would receive the click: <span role="img" id="button-1012-btnIconEl" class="x-btn-icon-el  " unselectable="on" style=""></span>

Steps to reproduce -

I think this is due to the fact: text()=‘Profiles’

This is very sad because 80% my elemets contain “text”

@marious88 you should click on “a” html element (instead of span)
