title: Coded UI - Unable to find menu items
body: <p>I've been tasked with getting to know Visual Studio's Coded UI testing "utility" as well as teaching myself C# for automation purposes. We run a web based program, and I'm having great difficulty with menu items and screens. I generate a new script to:<br>
  1. Log into application<br>
  2. Browse the menu and select an account<br>
  I cant seem to get past the log in screen, I can get it to put the username part in, but the test fails (error below) when I want it to add the password. Same sort of issue when attempting to click on menus items. We have ascertained that many of the menu items look like the image down below when I use the bulls-eye to help identify the menu item:<br>

  <p>Between Firefox, Chrome and IE (oh my....IE is bad), they behave differently. My C# knowledge is VERY limited and I simply can't make it work. Any input would be appreciated!</p>
  
  <p><em>ERROR:</em></p>
