** Description changed:

+ ----------------- findings until now
+ Seems to be related to the possible selection of accented characters if the key is held for some time (which is valid for e and s).
+ The problem seems to be somewhere between the handling of the search field input and the way Java Robot types a character.
+ More tests have to be made.
+ 
+ ----------------- workaround
+ use paste() for the text parts and type() only for typing functional keys:
+ paste("test"); type(Key.ENTER)
+ 
+ --------------------------------------------
+ 
  We are experiencing issues with type() command under Mac OS Sierra.
  
  -- while typing accent menu appear -  see
  https://support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/Product_Help/en_US/PUBLIC_USERS/PL124/S0120_AccentMenu.png
  
  -- typing actually miss some chars. For example typing "test" results in
  "tt" - https://www.screencast.com/t/xL79S0JK
  
  -- typing doesn't fire onKeyUp event in some fields(typing manually
  fires events)

- Please note that we do not have above issues with El Capitan and Yosemite Mac OS versions. We tried latest nightly Sikuli build as well. Java versions we are using is 1.8.121(latest)
