<p class="D_le M_lK D_lf M_lL D_lj M_lP D_ll M_lR D_lp M_lV D_ls M_lY D_la" style="color:unset">Login</p> - We tried this on browserstack chrome version 138/140 and OS 10 and 11

- We tried without waiting for the element to be clickable by directly clicking on the element, still got the same error
