Robot Framework "Scroll Element Into View" not working when there is a fixed footer

Question

I'm writing a UI automation using RobotFramework using SeleniumLibrary.

As seen in the image below there is a button hidden behind the fixed footer. I want to click that button using Robot Framework. I tried Scroll Element Into View <button_locator> but it throws below exception.

ElementClickInterceptedException: Message: element click intercepted: Element <a class="zoom-out" href="#" title="Zoom out" role="button" aria-label="Zoom out">...</a> is not clickable at point (1328, 656). Other element would receive the click: <div class="footer-actions layout-align-end-center layout-row flex-1" flex="1" layout="row" layout-align="end center">...</div>

Can someone please help me with this issue.

@Todor Minakov, Yes I can. When the page is loaded this button is hidden behind the footer. I can manually scroll the page until this button is visible and then I can click the button. — Prabodha
