Is there any workaround?
My selenium test can't pass on Safari due to the same issue. All other browsers (Chrome/Firefox/IE/Opera)
are fine with Keys.ENTER (or Keys.RETURN). Safari driver is the only exception.

I am on 2.42 and am experiencing the same issues. Keys.ENTER and Keys.RETURN neither
one works. I am getting the following WebDriverException:
