Text field values not saved in ZK application

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We are developing a tool using ZK framework that is used to extract some data 
from database and export(FTP the data files) it to a specified location. So the 
GUI consists of adding a Export Target, configure database extraction details 
and configuring Export Type and Run export now functions. I am using Selenium 
Library in Robotframework to test this application. 

We have integrated a consistent UUID generator for the ZK application to 
develop a consistent ID so that Selenium can be used to test it. I record the 
actions in Selenium IDE and manually write the equivalent steps in 
Roboframework using Selenium Library. 

Steps:
Open Export Target tool (web application, opens a window)
Select a Target from the table
Click "Open Configure Data types for the selected Target" button
This opens a new popup window (component)
Select a Data type from the table 
Click "open Configure Data Attributes for selected data type" button
This opens a new popup window (component)
Open the tree (which lists the data attributes in rows and has 3 columns in 
table with data attribute in 1st column, checkbox in 2nd column, text filed to 
enter export name in 3rd column)
Select a data attribute checkbox, change the default export name and click OK
Config Data Attributes window is closed and Config Data type window is shown
Select the same Data type again and Open the "Configure Data Attributes" window 
to verify that changes are saved

Expected:- Above selected checkbox is still selected and New Export name 
entered above is displayed

Actual:- It is observed that the new export name is not saved, instead it shows 
the default name. And checkbox is selected (only when Click Element command is 
used above. If Select Checkbox command is used, it is not saved)

This is a problem only with Automation tool. Application works fine, that is 
the results are as expected when run manually.

Library Versions:
Robotframework: 2.6.3
SeleniumLibrary
Python 2.7
Jython 2.5
Windows 7 64 bit machine

I have similar issue with other function as well.

Steps:
Open Export Target tool
Select a Target
Click "Open Target Type configuration" button
This opens a new popup window with target selection dropdown and text fields to 
enter Hostname, username, password etc,.
Select a Target type from dropdown list
Enter details in all text fields
And click OK button
Open "Configure Export Type" again and Verify the values are saved

Expected:- All values entered in above step are saved.

Actual:- The dropdown list has the selected value, but all text fields have 
lost the values entered and are blank.

Again this is a problem only with Automation tool. Application works fine, that 
is the results are as expected when run manually.

Same library version and system details as above.

I have solved another issue which I had, but unable to resolve the above two.
The issue I solved is:
Steps:
Open Export Target tool
Click on "Add New Target" button
A popup is displayed with a Textfield to enter the Name with OK and Cancel 
buttons
Enter the Name and click OK

Expected:- New target name is displayed in the list of Targets in the Table

Actual:- Blank (or Empty) name is added to the list

I resolved this issue by adding fireEvent(text field locator, blur) in Selenium 
IDE and below commands in robotframework 
Call Selenium Api   type    xpath=//input   New
Call Selenium Api   fire_event  xpath=//input   blur
Call Selenium Api   focus   xpath=//*[.='OK']   
Click Element   xpath=//*[.='OK']   1m  

I tried the similar steps to above two issues reported, but they don't work.

Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.

Look forward for any responses...

Thanks!
