#1725 ALT GR key don't work every first fun for master password

[Nicolas NOEL]

Hi All,
I have KeePass 2.38 and KeePassRPC 1.7.3 on my Ubuntu 17.10 fresh Installed.

I have a problem with my main password, every startup of my computer, the first launch of KeePass does not recognize the symbol "@" with azerty keyboard (French laptop Keyborard) in the field "master password".
I have to close KeePass and run it again to properly enter my master password.

the "@" symbol work in other software.
the key combination to make the @ is "ALT GR" + "0"
I found that any character using the "ALT GR" key does not work (only at first run)

Does it behave without any plug-ins?

Do you have any other mono apps you can run before KeePass, or just fire up mono on its own first?

cheers, Paul

[Nicolas NOEL]

I have'nt got any other apps with mono.
I don't know how to fire up mono

[Paul]

Open a terminal window.
Type mono.
Close the terminal window.

cheers, Paul

Such low level input handling is done by Mono, not KeePass. So, this is a Mono bug and must be fixed in Mono.

The problem has been reported before, but I'm not aware of any good workaround (except the one that you mentioned already, i.e. by manually starting and exiting KeePass once).

Running Mono or mono KeePass.exe --preload is insufficient.

Best regards,

Thansk's for this informations.
I h'aven't got this issue on my previously laptop. I will compare mono version with the new one.

Thank's again.
