python Selenium SendKeys() issue for sending “-” key

Question

I am using selenium to automate form auto-fill option on example.com

but what i see is, selenium send_keys() is not sending all the characters to browser

input to send_keys() function is : תל אביב -יפו and

what selenium writes to browser page is : תל אביב יפו

it omits the dash(-) from string

can someone point me to the right direction as to how can i have selenium to send all the characters to browser

element.clear()
element.send_keys(u'תל אביב -יפו')

this is what keys_to_typing generates as input to Command.SEND_KEYS_TO_ELEMENT

[u'\u05ea', u'\u05dc', u' ', u'\u05d0', u'\u05d1', u'\u05d9', u'\u05d1', u' ', u'-', u'\u05d9', u'\u05e4', u'\u05d5']

Answer 1

• Issue is specific to website i am working with..
• could not find specific solution to the problem
• I have implemented a work around which selects the correct value from suggestion box

Answer 2

Try to remove all your keyboards but the English one and then try again. I've had the same problem and this worked for me.
