@karthikuj - Just wanted to note, this is because the recorder appears to use the change event on inputs more than key down, so this command tends to wait until blur for fields.

@toddtarsi so keeping in view your above comment when we are clicking outside on end of typing input, recorder is recording that click command too along with type command. That is sometimes fails the testcase due to its random nature. How to avoid this happening?

@karthikuj @islamuddin - I finally found this, sorry for the delay here. It came down to a record handler not operating in the capture phase. Sorry about that, x.58 is going out tonight and should resolve this. Happy holidays
