I've seen this bug noted in various forms, but haven't seen a complete description of the issue or a resolution so I'm going to give it another shot:

When I try to use autotype within a remote application window (from Citrix ICA or XenApp client), the autotype fails. I have observed two failure modes: a) nothing happens, and b) the remote application window disappears (I believe that the remote application simply terminates). Other reports have noted similar problems with Terminal Server Client (TSC) and Remote Desktop Client (RDC / RDP). I suspect the issues are all related. Here are a few other notes

* This works OK in KeePass v1.x.
* The problem occurs whether using the global hot key (ctl-alt-a) or manually choosing "Perform Auto Type" from the KeePass context menu.
* I've tried unchecking the "Prepend Special Initialization Sequence for IE Windows" just in case that was somehow interfering.
* The auto-type works fine in Notepad or other non-remote apps.
* I've tried both with and without two-channel obfuscation. Same result
* I'm running Keepass v2.07 on Windows XP Professional

    Yes, this is directly related with the RDC problems (FR 2654176).
