It is fixed as part of Selenium tests broken by recent update of safari to version 13?.

Check my response there or find working setup here:

• MacOS: Catalina 10.15.4
• Safari: 13.1 (15609.1.20.111.8)
• Selenium: 3.141.59
• Scripting Language: Java 1.8

Answer 3

there is the answer from

wd.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", elem)

I has been tested, It's working for me.

Answer 4

The problem is not really traceable without given HTML.

Observed similair behaviour and assumed in my case (amazon cookie acceptance popup) that the interaction protocol requires the mouse to be over the button to be clicked. The solution for this case is here.

WebDriver drv;
...

public boolean clickAndHold(WebElement we)
{
    try
    {
        new Actions(drv);
        .clickAndHold(we)
        .perform();
        we.click();
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception x)
    {
        x.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }
}
