you have to exit the loop after the click:

while(s.exists(locator)==null){
   s.type(Keys.DOWN);
   if(s.exists(locator)!=null){
    s.click(locator);
    break;
   }
  }

even better:

while(true){
   s.type(Keys.DOWN);
   if(s.exists(locator)!=null){
    s.click(locator);
    break;
   }
  }

are you sure, that the image can be found at all with a score >0.7 (supposing the locator is an image filename).

You might use the SikuliX IDE in parallel to proof your images.

--- how sikulix IDE will be helpful in this
1. you can script quick-and-dirty trials of images and features
2. you can shot your images and manage them in a script folder

This works for me in the browser with the SikuliX homepage (IDE):

img = <a-shot>
while True:
  type(Key.DOWN)
  if exists(img, 0): break;

where img is an image near the bottom of the page (invisible when starting)

- start the script
- activate the browser page
... and watch

Can you help with this problem?
