Looks like entering text in text fields is completely broken for Chrome on
Sauce Labs. I have reported it. I will let you know when they reply.

This is what I wrote to them:

Since the recent selenium/chrome/chromedriver update[1] we have noticed
that Chrome builds started failing. While investigating the problem, I have
noticed that Chrome on Sauce Labs does not populate text fields correctly.

If you run attached file chrome_local.rb, username text field will be
populated correctly (see attached chrome_local.png).

If you run attached chrome_sauce_labs.rb[2] (please change line that starts
with "saucelabs_key"), only the first three characters will be entered
correctly, and four characters will be entered in password text field (the
script was not supposed to do that, see attached chrome_sauce_labs.png).

Environment:

Mac OS 10.9.4

Chrome 36.0.1985.125

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-darwin13.0]

$ gem list selenium-webdriver
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
