![]() ![]() While I believe that FireFox perhaps should also look into the cause for this on their end. I,e the method used by KeePassXC to enter extended ascii is not as compatible as one might want. I would argue that it is, at least partially, an issue with KeePassXC since KeePass2 enters the characters correctly (as do similar tools such as XDOTOOL, I'm not entirely familiar with what KeePass2 uses as a backend, it may be piggybacking on XDOTOOL but even so this at least proves that FireFox can receive special character input, at least in some limited context). I believe this should not inherently be an issue. Notably browser integration is loaded, but not set for any current browser due to a preference of more loosely interacting programs. Normal ASCII-range characters do not exhibit this issue, auto-type appears to work correctly for every other password. This issue is not present under Microsoft Windows 10 Professional 1903 either, it would be safe to assume that the issue lies in either only the Linux backend or in all non-Windows backends (though that's not my place to speculate about, all we can safely say is that this issue is reproducible on my machine).Noticeably this causes significant CPU spikes from idle ~0.7% upwards of 28-30% CPU usage. Additionally we note that both KeePassXC and FireFox become very unresponsive (chiefly due to upwards of 4-5 seconds of lag before entered characters show up and they show up in groups upwards of 15 at a time, rather than one at a time as expected), even with slow keystrokes.When using an extended ASCII password it will sometimes drop characters and will enter characters incorrectly. The issue has clearly observable symptoms. ![]() The issue is probably application-specific (FireFox, probably others) as it does not happen in sublime text.The issue is not site-specific (or is site-specific to reddit and github).We can, after these debug things infer the following:
