Steps to reproduce the issue
I've created a reproduction here however it's reproducible on any mac when trying to clear text nodes using press keys
Error messages and additional information
It seems that when I use the Selenium keyword press keys
to clear a text node, it doesn't work on mac OS. It works fine on Linux & Windows. When I try to use Clear Element Text
or Selenium's method .clear()
, it doesn't work. I've attached a repository that shows this behavior & highlights the problem I've been seeing. As long as you're on Mac OS, the repository reproduction should show the error I've been dealing with.
Expected behavior and actual behavior
When I follow those steps, I see... The browser seems to press COMMAND+ALT+BACKSPACE but doesn't clear the text
I was expecting...
The browser clears the text but it doesn't
