Originally reported on Google Code with ID 440

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open any page with multiple text fields, i.e 
https://www.google.com/voice/
2. Input text to two text fields using sendKeys method

        // Go to Google Voice
        driver.get("https://www.google.com/voice/");

        // Login
        driver.findElement(By.name("Email")).sendKeys("username");
        driver.findElement(By.name("Passwd")).sendKeys("password");

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
text typed in correct field but text is typed in field with focus

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Seems to happen only on Windows 7 and Vista.  Using Chrome 5.0.365.0

Please provide any additional information below.
Workaround is to click the field to switch.

This is the only blocker for us upgrading to b1. Adding the click() did not seem to
help (this is on WINXP + chrome)

I'm running ChromeDriver on Windows XP and I'm able to get around the issue with click().
I am having another problem as I noted on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4975731/how-to-call-javascript-from-chromewebdriver-and-internetexplorerwebdriver-when-th

This has regressed worst in beta.  Now the click doesn't even work as workaround.  Can
we fix this before next beta or 2.0 release?

With b2, I still have to click and hit the END key before I type. I found that the first
sendKeys fails, and if I either send a second sendKeys() or click+END, then it works.

BTW, this persists with b3

I have been able to use the following workaround for now

sendKeys("");
sendKeys(myactualKeys);

I can confirm this is still happening with 2.0b3, Windows XP and Chrome 10.

Can anyone confirm this is due to the new Chrome driver is being developed?

Confirmed on 2.0b3, XP and Chrome 11. This would be a great fix.

The rewritten Chrome driver is available if you build from trunk. If someone wants to
re-test this with trunk to confirm that it's fixed, that'd be great.
