Puppeteer - Text Keyboard Input won't work on dropdown popup

I'm using Puppeteer and Mocha library for E2E UI Test, and I'm having trouble with text input.

Here are the screenshots of the elements I'm trying to access:
Rename Dropdown Element
Renaming Text Field

After clicking the 'Rename Dropdown' and the keboard focus is automatically on the input area, 'page.type()' fuction won't work. (Manual keyboard input & Pressing Enter works normally)

Not sure if it's an issue regarding the breakdow>popup structure, or if it's puppeteer's own defect.

it(`UT - ${++i} : LNB - Rename Folder`, async function () {    
    await util.click(DP.LNB_newFolder_svg_xp);  // opens up the rename text popup
    await this.timeout(5000);
    // await LP.setId(DP.LNB_newFolder_palceholder_xp, "Created New Folder");
    // await util.click(XP.LNB_newFolder_palceholder_xp);  // not neccessary to click placeholder
    await page.type("test comment");  // where it won't type
    await page.keyboard.press("Enter");  // neither does it press Enter
 });
