🔧 Bug Fixes & Patches (6)

Fixed a very longstanding (!) issue where `.click()` would fail to click the center coordinates of elements with style `display: inline`. Cypress would instead report that the element was being covered causing the error: `cy.click() failed because this element is being covered by another element`. Fixes #210
We now no longer abort XHR's which have their `.abort()` method called but are already complete. This fixes an edge case where complete XHR's were having their `disposer` function called in frameworks like `rxJS` which lead to Cypress accidentally re-aborting the XHR's after they were complete. Fixes #761
Fixed issues involving XHRs displaying as 'aborted' in the Cypress Command Log when they were not actually aborted. Fixes #1652
We no longer abort XHR request during the page's `unload` event and allow the browser to handle natively calling abort. Fixes #2968
Fixed an issue where Cypress's `devDependencies` were being included in the Windows binary. Fixes #2896
Fixed issue where XHR's `onreadystatechange` was not receiving the proper event arguments. Fixes #2925
