I tried what you tried in firefox and I'm seeing the same thing I saw with
chrome.
irb(main):014:0>
b.goto("http://derp-bear.herokuapp.com/forms/basic_form_example";)
=> "http://derp-bear.herokuapp.com/forms/basic_form_example";
irb(main):015:0> b.text_field(:id, 'free_text_area')
=> #<Watir::TextField:0xc20ebf16383a5b4 located=false
selector={:id=>"free_text_area", :tag_name=>"input or textarea",
:type=>"(any text type)"}>
irb(main):016:0> b.text_field(:id, 'free_text_area').send_keys "hello"
=> ""
irb(main):017:0> b.text_field(:id, 'free_text_area').send_keys [:command,
'a']
=> ""
irb(main):018:0> b.text_field(:id, 'free_text_area').send_keys [:command,
'a']
=> ""
irb(main):019:0> b.text_field(:id, 'free_text_area').send_keys [:command,
'v']
=> ""
It passes like it's doing it, but watching the browser window it's
definitely not selecting all or pasting, although sending "hello" to the
text field worked fine. I was actually using an older version of Watir when
I first found this so I'm not sure how far back I'd have to go.
