clearAndType() doesn't trigger a focus / focusin event

[aaarichter]

When using clearAndType() I noticed that this function does not trigger any focus event(s), which occur with real input interaction.

Thanks for the report! Since this could be an issue with the browser being used - are you using PhantomJS? If so which version? Is this happening with other ("real") browsers as well?

Hey @jkrems

I run phantomJS v2.1.1 via phantomjs-prebuilt v2.15.9 https://www.npmjs.com/package/phantomjs-prebuilt which is installed globally.

Not sure how other browser behave.

My current workaround is to click the input first and then run clearAndType()
