Sometimes, Auto-Type fails me. Often, it has issues with special characters like @, but in this case it's jumbling letters. I have an entry that's supposed to do {PASSWORD}{ENTER}{DELAY=100}sudo bash{ENTER}{DELAY=100}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}. Lately, KeePass rather often types bsudo ash instead of sudo bash. Everything else seems to work as intended.

I might be able to space the individual letters with delays, but I thought something might be off in a way being interesting for you and warranting inspection.

    You already have an inter-character delay of 100ms via {DELAY=100}.
    To have a delay between certain keys, use {DELAY 100}.

    I didn't know there was a semantic difference between delay and delay=. Thanks for the hint. But - does that not make the bug even more irritating?

    I have not seem this issue reported here unless TCATO was used.
    As it may be a timing issue with your software, try a longer inter-character delay.

    cheers, Paul
