Two-way binding causes WebDriver's sendkeys to drop characters

[rapropos]

Combining my own experience with this problem with a couple of apparently related reports: protractor #2019 and angular #6250, I think the root cause is a conflict between WebDriver's sendkeys method and Angular's two-way binding.

A relatively minimal, hopefully reproducible, testbed is available at rapropos/twowaybind-sendkeys. This also demonstrates a potential workaround for certain situations: eschewing two-way binding using [(ngModel)] in favor of binding to a form control using [ngFormControl], which fixes the problem for me.

Version information:
webdriver 2.48.2
chromedriver 2.20.353124
chrome 47.0.2526.111

This might fix the issue #6897

@zoechi thank you for the suggestion, but it did not have any effect for me. I'm not even sure that code is referenced in my testbed app.

I am now unable to reproduce this with RC2/RC3. I think the issues has been fixed. Please open a new bug if you can show us a reproducible test case. Thanks!
