Selenium - Wait for OutOfBound element C#

I use Selenium C# binding and I want to click over the addToCart button.
First, I'm waiting the button appears on the page with ExpectedConditions.ToBeClickable.
Then, I need to scroll down the page to be able to click over the button. I used the Selenium.Interactions class but it work as well with js executor.
private By addToCartBy = By.XPath("/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[3]/div[2]/div/section[1]/div[2]/aside/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/button");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
IWebElement addToCart = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(addToCartBy));
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveToElement(addToCart);
action.Perform();
addToCart.Click();
When I perform this test with Chrome driver, the page loads and the navigator scroll down to the element addToCart and click it but I'm unable to get the button working properly.
When I use Firefox driver, it raise this exception:
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : '(1435, 998) is out of bounds of viewport width (1920) and height (966)'and I'm unable to click over the button
Most of the time, the click will be performed but no action will follow from this. If I want the button to work properly (go the the cart), I need to put a System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000) to be effective or a Console.ReadLine(). Even if I disable the automation click and I do it manually, the button don't always proceed.
How can I make sure my element addToCart is displayed after I moved to Element? in a way to click it when he's ready.
Thank you, Eelke Johnson

For some of the scenarios, you can use not
IWebElement.Click();
but
IWebElement.SendKeys(Keys.Enter);
I had some scenarios, where just Click() didn't work for me.Maybe this will help in your situation.

You need to consider a couple of things.
To invoke MoveToElement(), ExpectedConditions as ElementToBeClickable() is overkill. Instead you can do away with ElementIsVisible().
While invoking Click() as per best practices you need to invoke WebDriverWait inconjunction with ExpectedConditions as ElementToBeClickable().
So effectively, your code block will be:
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveToElement(new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.XPath("/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[3]/div[2]/div/section[1]/div[2]/aside/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/button")))).Perform();
new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)).Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[3]/div[2]/div/section[1]/div[2]/aside/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/button"))).Click();

selenium c# mouse over actions function

I have to mouse over a row to display a link that I need to click. I am able to mouse over the row and the link I need to click on is displayed but I can't click on it. Below is my code:
IWebElement element = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//span[contains(text(), 'abc#gmail.com')]"));
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveToElement(element).Perform();
Thread.Sleep(5000);
IWebElement delete = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//span[contains(text(), 'Delete')]"));
delete.Click();

I gather that there is a menu that pops up when you hover over that first "element" IWebElement. When using Java, I had a similar problem where a simple click() action on the menu item in that popup would not work. I had to resort to using Javascript. You could insert this line right after your code to retrieve the delete web element:
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("arguments[0].click();", delete);
I'm guessing that you could do something similar with C#

Can't move to a webelement?

Obviously selenium doesn't interact with an webelement until it's in the view, and selenium automatically tries to scroll to that webelement. But in my case when I try to click a particular button it doesn't scroll it in to view, it simply scrolls to a random place in the page.
Objective:
scrolls the webelement into view, and then click that element.
Methods I've already used:
element.Click(); //method 1
Actions actions = new Actions(driver); // method 2
actions.MoveToElement(element);
actions.Perform();
IJavaScriptExecutor js = driver as IJavaScriptExecutor; //method 3
js.ExecuteScript("$('#Id_Body' + element_id)[0].scrollIntoView( true );"); //because the driver scrolls to a random place I use this to get back to the top of the page.
int Y = element.Location.Y, X = element.Location.X;
js.ExecuteScrip($"window.scrollBy( {X}, {Y};");
I'm using selenium 2.48.0, firefoxDriver 43.0.1
Is there a fix for this issue? if someone knows of an older version of selenium/firefox that works fine with one of these methods please tell me, thanks.

Try double MoveToElement
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveToElement(elementParent).MoveToElement(elementToClick).Build().Perform();
First move to the element area and than to the element you want to click.

Why don't use scrollIntoView() directly:
js.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element);

Click inside iframe using Actions (Selenium)

I want to click at a point inside an iframe using Actions class of Selenium. But the code I'm trying is not clicking. Below is the code:
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveByOffset(x-coordinate, y-coordinate).Click().Perform();
I also tried passing the driver like:
Actions action=new Actions(driver.SwitchTo().Frame(0));
But it was giving error and I couldn't find any other way to pass the driver with a frame selected.
The error I'm getting is
Unable to locate frame 0

You couldnt switch to iframe, better way is to assign an iframe object the swithc to it. You need to find the iframe by xpath:
IWebElement iframe = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//html//body//iframe"));
driver.SwitchTo().Frame(iframe);
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveByOffset(x-coordinate, y-coordinate);
action.Click();
action.Perform();

How to change the visibility of the button got by Xpath in Selenium

Hello I am working in Selenium Automation testing with Nunit. I have one grid which have bulk of users and there is one remove button on each row of the grid. But that Remove button is visible only on mouse hover. So when I run the script, It gives me the error -
Element is not currently visible and so may not be interacted with
The Xpath of button is
"//div[1]/div[2]/div/section/div[2]/div[contains(.,'IE8 john
smith')]/div/div[2]/button[1]"
I tried working with the actions in selenium but still it gives me the same error.
Actions actions = new Actions(Driver);
var element = Driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[1]/div[2]/div/section/div[2]/div[contains(.,'" + fullName + "')]/div/div[2]/button[1]"));
actions.MoveToElement(element);
actions.Click();
actions.Perform();
Can anyone help me out ?

I think the following procedure will help
using Actions, hover over the element step
insert an implicit wait till the element is visible
click the button

Try to force element to be visible using JS:
IWebElement element = driver.FindElement();
js.ExecuteScript("arguments[0].style.visibility = 'visible', arguments[0].style.height = '1px'; arguments[0].style.width = '1px'; arguments[0].style.opacity = 1", element);
element.Click();
