IE Title Bar is blocking a button click center action, Global Send Keys to refresh HTML?

Anonymous

Problem: Have a IE browser based application where the title bar is partially blocking buttons we need to center click on. This happens every time now after BP is opening and closing a popup window from a html link within that IE browser based application. We were looking to trigger a hard refresh of the html frames by sending a CTRL + F5 ( our ideal solution), however CTRL + F5 does not work when manually trying nor with global send keys. Alternative Solution, we have tried the CTRL+F (Find Window Popup) and then closing that window, and confirm that this is manually triggering a refresh of the html frame. However when using the global send keys to send CTRL+F we are not getting the find popup window of Internet Explorer. We have tried sending this using the global send keys and a global send keys event. We are not sure if we have a syntax issue, or the wrong steps in the object studio, if its the issue of trying to send keys to an html application, or another reason we are naïve too. Any help would be appreciated or an alternative solution to fix the html frame display without closing down and restarting while in flight of the process.     Syntax we have tried on Global Send Keys with no observed response from the browser based application >{CTRL}F5{CTRL}F

Please provide screenshot for people to understand easily. Anyway, try the syntax ""^{F5}"". However, you said that CTRL+F5 does not work manually. So why are you still looking at this solution? How is the button clicked? If the element is spied as HTML, I believe it does not have to be visible for BP to be able to click it. If you are using Region or AA, then that's a different story. How about send keystrokes like Tab? Then when you get to that button, hit Enter?
