Selenium sends enter instead of space

[shinaco]

Hello, I am trying to send a simple query to google using selenium, but instead of typing spaces it presses the enter key. I even tried making it type letters one by one and it still does the same.
It works correctly in an Ubuntu VM I have in my laptop but when migrating to an Ubuntu server it sends enter when it should send space.
Below is my code (all the additional imports are for other things the code is going to do).

The code below should type "Hello my friend" into the textbox but instead it is typing "Hello" and pressing enter.

How can I fix this?

Thank you very much for your help

I found a workaround for what I need to do: Copy the whole keyword to the clipboard (I do this using subprocess and xclip) and then having selenium press Shift + Insert in chrome.
Not an elegant solution, but it works.
