Sometimes the global hot-key auto-type inserts a 'v' character at the start cauing the login to fail

    Hi,

    I use the global hotkey auto-type a lot on a Windows 10 machine using Firefox and Chrome as browsers.

    In some cases after pressing the CTRL+ALT+a global hotkey the character 'v' is entered before the auto-type sequence starts.
    So the login fails because it tries 'vUsername' instead of 'UserName'.

    At first I thought it was me being clumsy but I'm fairly certain I don't accidentally hit the 'v' key every time I see this issue. On a qwerty keyboard the 'a' and 'v' aren't exactly close to one another.

    What could cause this additional 'v' to be entered?
    I do have Two-channel auto-type obfuscation enabled for a number of entries and I have seen this with entries with that enabled. I'm not sure if I have seen it with entries without Two-channel auto-type obfuscation enabled.

    Thanks in advance

    Turn off TCATO on one entry and test.

    cheers, Paul
