Katalon = V6.3.3  
browser = Chrome 79.0.3945.88  
platform = Windows 8.1  
seleniumVersion = 3.141.59

> XPATH of object = //div[@role = ‘textbox’]

> WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘some way’), TEXT)}

MY RESULTS OF EXECUTING IN DIFFERENT CASES:  
V1. **Chrome:** 20Set + 20notSet (but textBox exist=true)  
V2. **Chrome+RefreshPage:** 20Set + 10 notSet  
V3. **ChromeHeadLess + RefreshPage:** 20Set+0NotSet

HOW CAN I GET NORMAL EXECUTING IN V1 ?

This sounds like a timing issue. Try adding the following before you set the text:

`WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject(‘some way’), 30)`
