#1472 Autotype inputs wrong password?

[Dmitry Erastov]

pwsafe v1.06 on ubuntu 18.04, Firefox 62.0. Using the Autotype button successfully fills in the login form fields, but the password is always rejected - tried it on several sites. Dragging the password onto the form works as well as copying from the clipboard.

I wasn't able to reproduce this issue with Firefox 62.0 (64-Bit) and Chromium Version 68.0.3440.106, running on Kubuntu 18.04 (64-Bit). Does this behaviour occur with all entries of your DB or only with certain one which might contain any special characters?

[Dmitry Erastov]

Tried a few entries with special characters and one with an alhpanum password - none of them were accepted via autotype, but worked with manual dragging.

I still cannot reproduce it. - Was it working for you with the previous release, 1.05BETA?
Could you please check whether any character is missing of the password in the browser? For instance, you could set the focus on the address field of firefox, befor you trigger autotype. Be aware that this would trigger the search for your password string. To prevent this you could change the autotype command from the default "\u\t\p\n" to "\u\t\p".

[Dmitry Erastov]

Was able to test this on a form that allows you to see the password. Apparently, if I use autotype for the first time after page load the first few characters of the password are lost. If I clear the form and autotype again it works correctly. Adding a delay between \u and \p helps, but I'd have to edit every password entry. Looks like I've got some kind of UI lag, and this is not really a pwsafe's issue.

The autotype string can also be configured globally at the "miscellaneous" tab in the options.

So, how should we proceed with this ticket?

Thanks for the help! Let's close it.
