title: Protractor - clicking and sendKeys not working
body: <p>I am writing a Protractor test, and as part of the test I wish to clear the content of a particular field (on a textarea), and then use the sendKeys method to write some content onto that textarea.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the code from my test:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var commentField = element(by.css('input[ng-model="comment"]'));
  console.log(commentField);
  commentField.clear();
  commentField.sendKeys('Here is a comment'); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The console log confirms that I am indeed finding a control, but as soon as it hits the clear() method the test just hangs.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas what might be happening here?</p>
