Keypress is very slow in Selenium Webdriver

Question

I have a selenium scripted web driver. It worked great in IE9. I upgraded to IE11. The sendkeys command prints characters very much. It enters one on one character, and it is very slow. I definitely did not make any changes to the script. Only I updated the browser. Is there a reason for this? Can anyone find out permission please let me know

thanks

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with my windows 8, IE11 and webdriver 64bit. I changed the 64-bit webdriver to 32-bit, and then the tests passed very quickly. (quick response from send_keys, which used to be 4-5 seconds per key ...)

Hope this helps.
