Capybara's native#send_key function is slow when it is passed a string
longer than just a few characters. This often results in timeout issues
and Capybara (falsely) reporting feature as failing.
To fix this, we use the faster function #fill_in. This does not trigger
JavaScript events on the input, so we manually trigger them after
fill_in by just sending a single key. This can be any key but since we
do not want to modify the text in the input, non-text keys should be
used. For a list of non-text keys, see
http://www.rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/Capybara%2FNode%2FElement%3Asend_keys
There is an alternative to the above:
1) Use #fill_in to enter all text except for the last character:
fill_in ..., with: "#{status_message_text} #{txt[0..-2]}"
2) And then use #send_key to send that last character:
find("#status_message_text").native.send_key(txt.last)
At the moment, both approaches work equally well but the second approach
is documented here just in case it becomes relevant in the future.
