Description

I'm writing some tests and sometimes I open a bootstrap modal and fill some inputs.
When I use the getSession()->getPage()->fillField("id", "value") it does not throw any error, neither fill the field inside the modal.
To solve this I had to call getSession()->getDriver()->setValue("'//*[@id="id"]', "value")
Here's more details and some code:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with getSession()->getPage()->fillField("id", "value") on an input inside a Bootstrap modal, then compare it with the driver setValue workaround shown in the report. Trace the fillField path for Selenium 1 and 2 and verify that the input is updated when the modal is open; done means the field is filled without calling the driver directly.
