Public bug reported:

The globalRect property of an object is supposed to represent the top
left hand corner of it, along with the width and height. Taking
advantage of that fact, Autopilot calculates the middle as x, y = x+w/2,
y+h/2

This calculation seems to have been thrown off by the overlay buttons in
the camera-app. In this case the globalRect represents the center of the
object. We determined this by enabling the touch vizualisation in
Unity8:

$ apt-get install qtdbus-qt5
$ qdbus --system com.canonical.Unity.Screen / com.canonical.Unity.Screen.setTouchVisualizationEnabled true

When clicking using click_object this clicks in the center, just below
the button. If we use the globalRect co-ordinates directly (without
adding width and height) it clicks in the exact center of the button.

Note that camera-app seems to be the only application affected by this
issue at the moment.

Another note - the x, y, width and height properties (outside of
globalRect) seem to be correct.
