<p>Test opens main menu and calls assert_and_click to click the Office item, then wants to click sub-items to test the libre office functionalities. </p>
<p>In the below example, the Office needle is asserted, but does not get clicked, so the sub-menu does not open and the test cannot continue.</p>
<p>The issue occurs every now and then, however the occurrence seems to be rather random; does not seem to be specific to any particular test or module.</p>

openQA Project - action #16596 (Resolved): Unrelated error in OpenQA needle editor upon savinghttps://progress.opensuse.org/issues/165962017-02-08T16:32:25Zvsvecovaveronika.svecova@suse.com
<p>While working on fixing needles for the firefox_gnomeshell module in my local instance of OpenQA (dreamyhamster.suse.cz), I encountered the following error while saving the needle in the needle editor:<br>
Unable to save needle: No areas defined.</p>
<p>The areas were specified though, and the needle was ready to be saved.</p>
<p>I tried the following to fix the issue:</p>
<ul>
<li>open the editor again and recreate the same needle</li>
<li>log out of OpenQA and log in again</li>
<li>unchecking and checking back the relevant checkboxes
The error persisted.</li>
</ul>
<p>The needle eventually saved successfully when I selected the option in the field "Needle based on" to exactly match the field "Copy areas from".</p>
<p>The error message seems unrelated to the problem.</p>
