Maybe this is easy to solve: Instead of Type use XType.

(Just note that XType does not use a locator as input, it types whereever the focus is currently)

Got it! Thanks @ulrich
The initial problem – as you mentioned – it was really easy to solve. I got more issues until i realized that I had to bring the browser to the front.

Many thanks!
