Using the send keys to enter the ‘@’ in the email id field is not working, instead of ‘@’ the ‘G’ is getting entered. sample Email: [Grady@gmail.com](mailto:Grady@gmail.com) Output in the email using selenium: [GradyGgmail.com](http://gradyggmail.com/) site:stackoverflow.com

````auto
WebElement email = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("/Window/Window[1]/Group[9]/Edit")));

email.clear();
email.sendKeys("Grady@gmail.com");```
````

You may try [GitHub - appium/appium-windows-driver: Appium's interface to WindowsAppDriver provided by Microsoft](https://github.com/appium/appium-windows-driver?tab=readme-ov-file#windows-keys) as a possible workaround

In this issue. If you enter all data into the form then the email field data is added right and works fine.  
but when you try to add any Capital character in any input then this issue is faced.
