Hi @jdtorres96
I have checked your issue and updated the code to solve it. I changed the way the scrolling of the menu is performed. Here is the new code:

def scrollDownLeftMenuOnGoogleMaps(counter, waitingTime):
    """
    This function is responsible for scrolling down the menu visible at the left.
    It is used while searching for places at Google Maps. It allows seeing more places relevant for the search value.

    :param counter: number of scrolls down
    :param waitingTime: waiting time until next scroll (new results are loaded)
    """
    menu_xpath = '/html/body/div[3]/div[9]/div[9]/div/div/div[1]/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[3]/div'
    if check_exists_by_xpath(menu_xpath):
        for i in range(counter):
            # wait until element is located
            wait = WebDriverWait(driver, waitingTime)
            menu_left = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, menu_xpath)))

            # perform scrolling down
            scroll_origin = ScrollOrigin.from_element(menu_left)
            ActionChains(driver).scroll_from_origin(scroll_origin, 0, 500).perform()

Please let me know if everything works correctly so I can close this issue. Happy coding!

Hi @KrzysztofNazar01, thanks so much for your help! I've tried the new code but am still getting the same problem. I wonder if it has to do with some google chrome configuration. Also, I am running this in a Mac
