[Question #695926]: Key.TAB not behaving as expected in a text box.

A member of my team is working to automate a testing routine on a piece of software.  On doing inputs, they are making use of

type(Key.TAB)

to move from one box to the next in sequence.  However, it's not doing anything.

Base OS: Windows 10
Application: access via Citrix receiver (sorry, can't be more specific)

Put another way:

Given the code:
type('abc')
type(Key.TAB)
type('DEF')

This should result in the first two fields coming in as:

Field 1 | Field 2
abc       |DEF

Instead, we're getting:

Field 1   | Field 2
abcDEF | <blank>

When they attempt to perform the task manually (not via Sikuli script), the Tab key on their keyboard works to move from field to field.

Key.LEFT and Key.RIGHT have similar issues (when operated by hand, moves from field to field; when automated does nothing)

Question: does <type(Key.TAB)> send a different code to Windows than what a standard 101/102 Key US keyboard sends?
