Selenium can not click on one element - python-3.x

Question

I am using Selenium Chromedriver and my problem looks like this:
My program is clicking element on website and a list of elements appear.
Than it is choosing one of element from list using checkbox.
Nextly it is trying to click other element but the program crashes.
When the mentioned list appear if I am clicking anywhere on website using inspect option the code of inspected element looking like this:
<div id="__selectOverlay" style="display: block;"></div>
how can I click any element from website after the list appear?

Answer 1

looking at the html snippet shared, "__selectOverlay" might be the overlay which comes on top of the web page(like a loading spinwheel/panel) .
To get rid of the error, you can try the following
* Wait for panel/overlay to disappear
* Close the panel , if there is a panel close button.
And then click on any element on the web page

Answer 2

As per the HTML you have shared the WebElement seems to me as a Overlay within a div tag. Moreover this div tag doesn't have a onClick() event associated. So we won't be able to click the WebElement straight away. Possibly you might be trying to invoke click() method on some other element which is having this temporary / permanent Overlay through the div tag.
Solution
Depending on the type of Overlay there are two possible solutions as follows :
Temporary Overlay :
In this case induce ExplicitWait with ExpectedConditions set to invisibilityOfElementLocated for the Overlay to be invisible.
WebDriverWait wait1 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
wait1.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("ele_to_inv")));
Permanent Overlay :
Use JavascriptExecutor to send the click directly on the element.
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("element_xpath"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", ele);
