TAB key not working under citrix environment using PyAutoGUI

Question

I am trying to fill a login form in Citrix environment using PyAutoGUI. But I am unable to press TAB key to switch form fields. Keys like Enter is working properly.

Manually TAB is working on that form but it is not working using PyAutoGUI. Below is the code I am trying.

time.sleep(10)
im9 = pyautogui.screenshot()
im9 = np.array(im9)

# locate_image locates image on current screen
username_sp = fi.locate_image(im9, 'Screenshot.png')
if username_sp:
    pyautogui.typewrite('Username\t',interval=1)
    time.sleep(2)
    pyautogui.press('tab')
    pyautogui.typewrite(r'pass',interval=0.25)

But, user and pass get clubbed into single Username field. On normal environment TAB is working Ok.

Did you try to add a `sleep` _after_ sending tab? and send more tabs just to see what it is doing? — Jean-François Fabre, Feb 15 '17 at 14:17
Yeah, I tried to send multiple tabs but same result. Didn't tried sleep after tab will try and update you. — Arunesh Singh, Feb 15 '17 at 14:27
could you locate the login window and send a mouse click instead? citrix sucks, It handles the events in an "optimized" way so GTK apps tend to lock up/freeze for instance. — Jean-François Fabre, Feb 16 '17 at 10:16
Yes, I do. I tried using [`uipath`](https://www.uipath.com/). It is working and I am able to press TAB through it. May be there is some bug with `PyAutoGUI`. — Arunesh Singh, Feb 16 '17 at 11:31

Running into the same issue it looks like how pyautogui sends tab just doesn't work with Citrix. I have been able to send tab with keyboard though.

import keyboard
keyboard.press_and_release('tab')
