Hi, the error I'm experiencing is in using 'Element Scroll Down', the scraping window opens, hangs on for a few seconds without scrolling and then closes. The site uses Angular. I've tried to select several other elements and play with the configuration, however it always acts the same.
It looks like a bug to me, however I might be doing something wrong, I doubt it though.
I use a website that requires credentials, but perhaps we can work something out if you need to debug this.
Best,
