I have a peculiar problem to which I was unable to find an answer. I use SendKeys command to input text into the field. I can see the text going in, but as soon as I move onto the next field, the text in the previous field disappears. I Enter and Tab after sending a string and tried variations of the above to move the cursor along, I tried simply not tabbing along at all and I tried Set Text instead of Send Keys. Every combination of methods produces the same result - as soon as I start populating the next form, the text from the previous form disappears! Obviously, this does not happen outside of the test environment. I can use any method to input data on the website without the text disappearing in real life. I wonder if anyone came across a similar problem before and if they could share some thoughts on it. ---

Share the HTML of the field in question, please. ---

Sure. This is an Angular (7.2) frontend, here is an example of one of the inputs: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/0/0dfa338f72f6b07d2501b8ea3dd3977135246b6a.png) ---

To answer my own question, inserting a few seconds delay BEFORE SendKeys command seem to have sorted the problem! ---
