Selenium and PhantomJS - can not sendKeys()

Question

When I try to send keys than I get an error

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.InvalidElementStateException: {"errorMessage":"Element is not currently interactable and may not be manipulated"...
    at main.Main_1.main(Main_1.java:39)

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.remote.ScreenshotException: Screen shot has been taken...

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.InvalidElementStateException: {"errorMessage":"Element is not currently interactable and may not be manipulated"...

a code:

driver.get("site url");
wait.until( ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.name("query")) );
System.out.println(driver.getTitle()); //this line works
driver.findElement(By.name("query")).sendKeys("test"); //error here (Main_1.java:39)

What is the reason?

Are you sure that the element is in the viewport? Have you tried to increase the viewport (window size)? — Artjom B., Aug 28 '16 at 11:00
@ArtjomB. It's phantomjs... but I know that the element is in the viewport. Why then the second line of the code works? — rozerro, Aug 28 '16 at 11:02

First click that element:

driver.findElement(By.name("query")).click();

then pass data by using sendKeys:

driver.findElement(By.name("query")).sendKeys("test");
