title: Clear date input fails on chromewebdriver
body: <p>I ran into a problem while switching from firefoxdriver to chromedriver with selenium, it was working fine in FF but now when I try to clear a date input field I have this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.InvalidElementStateException: Element must be user-editable
  in order to clear it. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

  blah blah...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried adding the contenteditable attribute to my input fields but no luck there:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;input type="date" contenteditable="true" required="required" placeholder="YYYY-MM-dd" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not sure if I should report that or where to report it but I found these issues in related projects that somewhat similar:</p>

  <p>In the meantime any suggestions to get around that bug?</p>
