[FIXED] Capital letters got rearranged / swapped when using sendKeys() using Selenium

Issue

I've faced a problem using Selenium and chromedriver. When using sendKeys() method with capitals, letters are rearranged. For example, I use:

element.sendKeys("ABCD")`

but in runtime it sends "CDAB" string.

As far I played with this method, it happens only with CAPITALS.

Does anyone know the reason why?

Solution

The text based HTML of the element would have been helpful to debug the issue in a better way.

However, it is always recommened that to send a character sequence to any <input> field you need to induce WebDriverWait to elementToBeClickable() for the element to render completely and you can use the following solution:

new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("element_cssSelector"))).sendKeys("ABCD");
