"@" sign in a string is being changed to the number 2 #5120

Open lukeis opened 8 years ago

lukeis commented 8 years ago

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 5120

Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, Firefox 18.0.1, IE 8
Selenium WebDriver 2.29

I have a string variable that represents a user's email address to sign in to Facebook
with.  When the script enters the string into the field, the "@" gets changed into
the number 2. So, if the email string was user@company.com, it's being entered (using
.sendKeys) as user2company.com.

100% reproducible for FF and IE.  
Does not happen with Google Chrome on the same OS.
Checks of the variable just before executing the step show the correct "@" value in
the string.
Same code with the same OS+browsers, using WebDriver 2.28 works correctly.

What are your keyboard settings?

I haven't changed the keyboard or language settings at all, so they're the standard
setting for Windows English+US Keyboard...

I can confirm this issue for IE11 - does not happen in Google Chrome. German keyboard
binding, however, have tested with English key codes as well. See my SOF thread here

for more information and a "dirty fix".
