AutoType doesn't recognize Thunderbird master key window on macOS

[survellow]

Overview

The master key entry window of Thunderbird is not recognized when trying to do AutoType.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set master password in Thunderbird and close Thunderbird
2. Open Thunderbird and wait for the "Password Required" prompt
3. Launch global AutoType by using the assigned keyboard shortcut

Expected Behavior

KeePassXC should read the window title and match with entries that have "Password Required - Mozilla Thunderbird" in their AutoType configuration.

Actual Behavior

KeePassXC reads the title of the window underneath the Thunderbird prompt (i. e. a Firefox window) or the desktop and lists the wrong keys. Therefore it is necessary to search for the password manually. AutoType then works without a problem.

Context

The key selection window of the AutoType feature instead shows either the keys for the program behind that window or, if there is no other program on the current desktop, a list of all my keys.

It is possible that thunderbird is hiding this window/dialog from us. It also looks like the window is not in focus. Be sure to click the title bar of the thunderbird window before attempting Auto-Type.

I checked again and the window seems to be in focus. If I focus another window, the close button is greyed out.

Hiding could indeed be a problem. Is there any way to figure out, whether or not KeePassXC can see the window?

I use the same configuration on my Linux and Windows PCs without a problem, only on macOS I can't AutoType the master password.

Honestly, you may have to open a bug report with Thunderbird/Mozilla.
