Clear value for vaadin-text-field

Hello,

I am unable to use the clear() method to action on a text field element.
sendKeys() works fine so I can use it also as a woraround to clear the text field by sending ctrl+a,DEL,ENTER, but I would prefer using the built in testbench method.
Same behavior is experienced also for comboBox where again I am using the sendKeys() workaround.
Error received:
org.openqa.selenium.InvalidElementStateException: invalid element state

driver.findElement(By.id("UploadFilter").sendKeys("test");
driver.findElement(By.id("UploadFilter").clear();

Did anybody manage to use successfuly clear() on elements that accept it?
