Click on element generates System.ArgumentException

[PiotrNestor]

For a Java Eclipse SWT based desktop application, for some element types it's not possible to preform element click.

The driver generates:
System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.
which is thrown by the Interop.UIAutomationClient.IUIAutomationScrollItemPattern.ScrollIntoView() method.

In this case it works to click on the element coordinates. Example:

new Actions((WebDriver)Context.getDriver()).moveToElement(e).click().perform();

What's causing the problem?

Example driver log for the exception:
