** 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 input
  field input and the way Java Robot types a character.
  
  Does not happen if the browser address field is focused using CMD-L
  
- Happens in TextEdit
+ Happens in TextEdit, Visual Studio code and other editor windows.
  
  I am testing in version 2, where I use JNativeHook, to verify mouse and
  keyboard actions: the keypress/keyrelease are correctly given to macOS.
  
- More tests have to be made.
+ More tests have to be made. No solution for now.
  
  ----------------- 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.

  -- 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)
