Autotype seems to stutter/is slow when entering credentials into the appropriate fields #8438

Closed MrDoodlezz closed 2 years ago

Overview

After the corresponding database entry for Autotype has been selected and confirmed, the individual characters of the entries are sometimes (apparently website-dependent?) entered very slowly into the fields compared to before, despite the standard Autotype sequence.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the website you want to login.
  2. Start the Autotype feature (I use the universal shortcut).
  3. Select and confirm the entry.
  4. Watch and wait for the login details to be entered and automatically confirmed.

Expected Behavior

I expect the quick entry, confirmation as before.

Actual Behavior

The login data is entered too slowly for my needs.

Context

A week or two ago, I got a newer device from the same company. The device is managed via Jamf, I have admin rights, though slightly limited. I don't think the KeePassXC version has changed between the exchange and it worked fine with the previous device.

What is the website(s)? Browser?

Have you checked the Auto-Type settings to make sure you delay between keys hasn't been greatly increased by accident?

MrDoodlezz commented 2 years ago

Basically, with any website – it doesn't matter whether it's internal or external, like Github – there's no noticeable difference for me.

For a very few entries I added additional delay.

I have also thought about the possibility of other apps interfering. Here are a few apps that I or the administration have installed that are almost always running in the background (some of them also use shortcuts, although they don't interfere):

Amphetamine.app DeepL.app (uses shortcuts) GlobalProtect.app Google Chrome.app Jamf Connect.app KeePassXC.app (well, obviously 😅) Microsoft Defender.app Microsoft Excel.app Microsoft Outlook.app Microsoft Teams.app Spectacle.app (uses shortcuts)

I also use quite a few extensions for Chrome. Simply deactivating them has made no difference. HTTPS Everywhere KeePassXC-Browser Neat URL Tab Groups Extension Tab to Window/Popup - Keyboard Shortcut Tampermonkey uBlock Origin uMatrix Xinet CM

What's also strange is that it works better now and then - but I can't pinpoint the cause at the moment.

Here's some basic specs about the MacBook itself, just in case:

macOS Version: 12.5.1 (21G83) Model: MacBook Pro (16", 2021) Chip: Apple M1 Pro RAM: 32 GB

I guess with all these apps and extensions, it's hard to figure out for you. Anyway, I'll just wait and see, maybe with the next version of KeePassXC it will be better again or one day I'll find out myself what's blocking the flow here.

There is nothing inherently wrong with our Auto-Type, it works flawlessly for everyone (except you in this case) so it is definitely something with your setup. We won't be making any changes or cannot possibly determine fault in this situation.

MrDoodlezz commented 2 years ago

While I would say that saying Auto-Type works flawlessly for everyone is highly definitional and it seems a bit like looking the other way*, I understand the decision.

*Glancing at the list of other Auto-Type issues, for example #7722, for which I have since found and posted a workaround myself.

I'm referring to the typing speed when I say it works flawlessly. There are a million edge cases on all the platforms.
