clearValue is not clearing the value

[Negar Negaru]

Hello, I have a box with a text value inside. So I want to call it using

.clearValue(element.durInput)

but it's not clearing the value and so when I use .setValue it appends the new value instead of replacing. I wanted to instead use the code for keypress to press ctrl-a and then backspace to clear it. I'm using the code

browser.keys([browser.Keys.CONTROL, "a"])

browser.keys("8")

but I'm sure it's wrong since it's not working. Any idea how to make it work? Thanks in advance

You can try this to select the text:

browser.setValue(element.durInput, [browser.Keys.CONTROL,'a'])

I tried it with no luck. I think the problem is with the website. Thanks for the hint regardless.

.clearValue does not work for me in Firefox (works flawlessly in Chrome). 

Also, using "browser.setValue(element.durInput, [browser.Keys.CONTROL,'a'])" does not work either. WebStorm complains about not recognizing "CONTROL".

Any ideas what could be causing Firefox to act up?

Any update on this, I also have the same issue, in my case its working without any issue in Firefox and chrome, but failing in IE11
