What happened?

Browser: Version 130.0.6723.59 (Official Build) (arm64)

Selenium Version:
org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-devtools-v86:4.8.2

Details:
I wrote code to clear the entered text and then input new text, but every time, the cleared text would reappear along with the new text, resulting in both being concatenated

Here is code:

public void sendKeysToWebelement(By by, String string) {
		Wrapperdriver.findElement(by).clear();
		
		
		Wrapperdriver.findElement(by).sendKeys(string);
	}

Sharing DOM structure of user field
<input aria-invalid="false" id=":r1v:" class="MuiInputBase-input MuiOutlinedInput-input css-1x5jdmq" type="username" value="">

Note:
This website has another username field on a different Page where the above-shared code works perfectly.
Sharing DOM structure of this Username:
<input autocomplete="off" type="password" class="MuiInputBase-input MuiInput-input MuiInputBase-inputAdornedStart css-mnn31" name="password">

How can we reproduce the issue?

public void sendKeysToWebelement(By by, String string) {
		Wrapperdriver.findElement(by).clear();
		
		
		Wrapperdriver.findElement(by).sendKeys(string);
	}
