Populate text field not working properly

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 35

Hello guys, 

 

I'm making a very simple flow, automating the login process on a web page. However, when populating my text fields, I've encountered an issue, my text fields are populated but only with parts of information. For example, when testing, if the email I want to use it's "pa.desktop@gmail.com", i will get "pa.desk" in the inputs. The populated value varies, so for different test i will get outputs like "pa.des", "pa.desktop", "pa." etc. Do you why this my happen? I've tried this flow on multiple pages and I've got the same results.

Flow:

    We're noticing this same issue, but we can't reproduce it consistently. Some of our machines for unattended automations encounter this issue, while others populate web text fields without problems. They're all running the same version of PAD and the browser extension.

    This is also happening to me. I don't have the bandwidth to be maintaining something so simple!!! Why does MS do this nonsense.
