Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with CodeceptJS 3.0.2, Node.js 12.16.3, WebdriverIO, and the I.fillField entry point on Windows 10, comparing "Delete" with "delete". No source files or tests are named; done means the capitalized value is entered in the textbox and a regression test covers the behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am trying to enter values in textboxes on web application using I.fillField and I am passing "Delete" as value
e.g. I.fillField(xpath of the textbox,"Delete");

Value "Delete" is not getting entered in textbox when 'D' is capital however if we pass 'd' i.e. "delete" as value from script then it works.

When I pass I.fillField(xpath,"Delete") this step shown as executed in debug logs but actually action does not executes on UI.
