When clicking on an link on the page, the latest version of chrome doesn't react (when testing with selenium webdriver)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When clicking on an link on the page, chrome doesn't react. After clicking a 
field in the form, chrome responses the click on the link and opens the correct 
form. It works just right on explorer, firefox and windows 8/chrome. It worked 
just fine using the previous Chrome version.

The problem exists in only one of our applications using Bootstrap.
The menu can be used to navigate through the application 
(div[class=span-navigation]/ul[class=left-nav]/li[href=....].
However when a specific menu-option has been selected, within this page there's 
a div[class=accordion-toggle]. The browser doesn't react when the link is 
clicked. When an input field is clicked, the browser responds the previous 
click, opening the form that was expected.

I tried to fix it by:
- deleting cache and cookies
- using chrome in incognito mode
- resetting the browser settings
- reinstalling the application

Using windows 7 with chrome version 40.0.2214.91 m

Regards,

Rob

I have the same issue on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, Chrome version 40.0.2214.111. I 
have a button to be clicked. The button gets highlighted like it gets clicked, 
but nothing happens.

It is a very sporadic issue. I would say 1 out of 10 test runs, the button does 
not get clicked.

I checked the chromedriver version. We currently use 2.10.267521.
I just updated towards the latter version (2.14.313457).
Unfortunately that didn't do te job.
I also attached a snippet from the application and the code.

we need stand alone codes to run so that we can reproduce the issue.  It will 
help us debug as well.

you don't need to give me your application.  make another small stand alone 
program that can reproduce the issue since  you know the issue better than us.

I know, but i'm not a java engineer and the team lacks the time to do so.
