Web Form Default Not Clearing

Question

Has anyone had the problem with an HTML form that has a default entry in it that when the field is clicked on it goes blank so you can enter a value.  Then when I enter the value while recording it puts my new value and then appends the default entry.  I've tried entering the field with tabs, mouse, used the delete key in the field first but no matter what I do it leaves the entry and appends it to my new entry - thereby creating an entry that I'm not intending.  See example picture, I obviously don't want "User ID" appended to my sign-on.

What I've found helps with those default entries is to put a little pause in before and after that step. I think sometimes the WPM playback is "too quick" for the forms, and the pauses help it process the input from the player.

Hello Philip,

have you tried XY recording mode? Some JS frameworks are not handled properly by WPM so they sometimes don't "see" all the actions WPM does. This look like this, the form does not see value that WPM writes so it appends default. If you use XY mode it should work.
