[Bug]: Parameter position of locator.click does not work as expected

[ipeneva]

Version

1.56.0

Steps to reproduce

I need to click in the center of the element. I used the following code

    await this.selectItem(item).click({ trial: true });
    const box = await this.selectItem(item).boundingBox();
    this.logger.info(`Bounding box after 1st click: ${JSON.stringify(box)}`);
    await this.selectItem(item).click({
      position: {
        // x: 0,
        x: box!.width / 2,
        y: box!.height / 2,
      },
    });

The cursor is positioned in the center only before the action. But for the action it appears on the upper border of the element.

Expected behavior

The click is executed in the center of the element

Actual behavior

Before the action the cursor is positioned in the middle of the element

On the action the position is the default (horizontal: middle, vertical: up)

Additional context
