[Bug]: Type Text Issue -- Low-priority

Checklist before reporting

Python Version

Operating System

Linux

Bug Description

When I use type_text feature on input field, it jumbles up characters after a certain number of characters are written. The cursor keeps moving back after typing 22 characters. So whatever you write afterwards, it gets written backwards.
The bug is persistent even after using different cursor speeds.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Import library using pydoll
2. Setup browser with Chrome
3. Run the Chrome in headed mode
4. Find a field or element where you can enter text such as input fields (Email, URLs, simple text) and store it in a variable, e.g.,

tag = tab.find(tag_name='tag_name')

5. Use type_text method on the variable, e.g.,

tag.type_text(
     'Some text',
     interval=0.2
     )

or

for i, char in enumerate(TEXT):
        await email.type_text(char, interval=0.2)

6. Run the program and see the error

Code Example

import pydoll
import asyncio

TEXT = 'Some text to try out'

options = ChromiumOptions()

async with Chrome(options=options) as browser:
    tab = await browser.start()
    await tab.enable_network_events()
    await tab.go_to(BASE_URL)

    text_input = await tab.find(id="text_field")
    await text_input.click(
        x_offset=1,
        y_offset=2
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(2)

    for i, char in enumerate(TEXT):
        await text_input.type_text(char, interval=0.2)  # will run but characters will jumble from end

    await text_input.type_text(TEXT, interval=0.2)   # Same issue. With high cursor speed, it omits the first characters sometimes too

Expected Behavior

If I want to type some text, it shouldn't get jumbled up after a certain number of characters

Actual Behavior

If you use a variable with value "abcdefghijklmno@email.COM', it types 'abcdefghijklmno@email.MOC'

Hello @mehwishh247, can you try to update pydoll to the latest version? I wasn't able to reproduce this

[mehwishh247]

Hi thalissonvs, I did actually. It still persisted but this time, if I used the example pseudo email I attached, it worked fine. But with my own email, it doesn't and I have to run the browser headed to add email myself. I wanted to attach the video but there is no way I can do that without making my contact public.

[mehwishh247]

I was able to reproduce the error. The number of characters the cursor goes back varies with length of text. I am attaching the video so you can see exactly what happens:

Thanks! I'll open a PR in a few seconds.

hello @mehwishh247, can you test with this branch? fix/scroll
please let me know if it works for you so I can generate a new release

[mehwishh247]

Alright. Let me try and get back to you

[mehwishh247]

The error still exist. Adding this info in case it may add some more context that I am getting my credentials from .env, storing it in a global constant, then use this certain code block to add text:

    await asyncio.sleep(uniform(1.0, 2.0))

    for i, char in enumerate(EMAIL):
        await email.type_text(char, interval=0.2)

    continue_button = await tab.find(tag_name="button")
