Input With Onchange Event That Triggers A Postback, Fails When Using Selenlium IDE Type Command

[RocktimeLtd]

🐛 Bug Report

Using Type command is causing post-back and removing focus from textbox, if textbox already contains data.

.Net Textbox with autopostback=true (page is automatically submitted if the content of the textbox has changed and you are returned to the same page)

-->

To Reproduce

Detailed steps to reproduce the behavior:

Type command causes additional postback if textbox contains data.
await driver.findElement(By.css(.sid-fd2_Q_2)).then(element => {
return element.clear().then(() => {
return element.sendKeys(2);
});
});
Both the element.clear and the element.sendKeys remove focus from the textbox. This will cause a post-back if the content of the textbox has changed. If this post-back fires element for the sendKeys will no longer be valid (different page)

Expected behavior

The generated code should be allowing the element to be relocated in case of a post-back
await driver.findElement(By.css(.sid-fd2_Q_2)).then(element => {
return element.clear();
});
await driver.findElement(By.css(.sid-fd2_Q_2)).then(element => {
return element.sendKeys(2);
});

Test script or set of commands reproducing this issue

await driver.findElement(By.css(.sid-fd2_Q_2)).then(element => {
return element.clear().then(() => {
return element.sendKeys(2);
});
});
