I ran into this error while trying to click some element  or its overlay  I didn t care   and the other answers didn t work for me   I fixed it by using the elementFromPoint DOM API to find the element that Selenium wanted me to click on instead   element i care about   something   loc   element i care about location element to click   driver execute script       return document elementFromPoint arguments 0   arguments 1          loc  x        loc  y    element to click click     I ve also had situations where an element was moving  for example because an element above it on the page was doing an animated expand or collapse   In that case  this Expected Condition class helped   You give it the elements that are animated  not the ones you want to click   This version only works for jQuery animations   class elements not to be animated object       def   init   self  locator           self locator   locator      def   call   self  driver           try              elements   EC  find elements driver  self locator                 animated is an artificial jQuery selector for things that are               currently animated by jQuery              return driver execute script                   return  jQuery arguments 0   filter   animated   length                    elements          except StaleElementReferenceException              return False

The best solution is to override the click functionality   public void  click WebElement element       boolean flag   false      while true            try              element click                flag true                    catch  Exception e               flag   false                    if flag                        try                  element click                              catch  Exception e                   System out printf  Element     element    has beed clicked  Selenium exception triggered      e getMessage                               break
