Still persist in chromedriver-16

Yep, I'm having the same issue. There's a bug in the chromedriver.exe Chrome driver
for Selenium's WebDriver API. You can't use send_keys for certain types of inputs,
like for the jQuery plugin "EZPZ Hint". It works okay on simple forms.
For now I'm going to use Firefox and IE instead of Chrome to do my testing, but I'd
like to see this issue fixed. Does anyone know of a different workaround that'd allow
me to use Chrome instead of switching browsers?
Here's are inputs, had to use an image because it's generated dynamically and I couldn't
copy/paste from Chrome's inspector thing:

I am using Chrome latest stable (14.0.835.202) and a Python script with a unittest
class and nose as the test runner.
Here's the debugging info:

I am having the same issue, and it looks like I have issues with password text boxes.

This issue no longer affects me, because our team decided to stop using EZPZ jQuery
plugin and start using the HTML placeholder attribute. I can use Chrome in my automation
suite now!

One workaround would be to click the element and then use the advanced interactions
API to send keys without an element.
I'll look and see if there's a better way to focus the element we want to click. Thanks
for the reproducible case.

Accepted
I am also facing the same issue for input fields which have the search as you type feature
associated with it.
@kka : Thanks for the work around it works for me.
