Power Automate Desktop Lacks Native HTML Form Interaction

Power Automate Desktop has no built-in actions for interacting with elements in a regular HTML form (e.g., uploading a file), forcing users to simulate UI clicks and keystrokes instead of using a direct API or component. A structural gap in a widely used RPA tool for web-form automation.

App Bug Reporting Tools Force Automatic Screenshots Instead of User-Selected Context

Bug reporting flows in apps like Google Docs automatically capture a screenshot from the feedback menu screen rather than the actual problem location, making the report contextually useless. Users cannot upload their own screenshots to show the specific issue. This fundamentally undermines the value of in-app feedback collection for both users and developers.
