KeePass AutoType not passing through to RDP session

[stryker09]

As the title suggests, after upgrading to 1.77 and now after using the latest CI build 1.77.0.41252, KeePass AutoType no longer works. Unsure if this is a focus issue as the window focus does change to mRemoteNG but whatever credentials that is being passed along does not get "typed" in to any text field within the RDP session.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Launch KeePass & connect to a RDP session
2. Launch notepad for example, or select any text field that requires input
3. Select a credential in KeePass and press Ctrl + V (or the AutoType hotkey)
4. Focus changes to mRemoteNG, but the keystrokes are not passed in to the notepad or text field within the RDP session

In my particular scenario, my local mremote session connects to a jump server, and I have another mremote session in the jumpserver that I use to pass in credentials over from KeePass. This used to work in 1.76.20 and earlier releases but no longer in 1.77.x releases, even builds from CI.

I have the same problem on my PC with 1.77 (develop branch) + KeePass 2.42.1.
v1.76.20 works fine.

Same issue here.

mRemoteNG Version: 1.77.1.27654
KeePass 2.47

what about 1.77.2 version?

I've checked on 1.77.2.28860 and 1.77.2.41427 and the issue still exists. It looks like it not focusing on the RDP tab when you switch between windows.

Even when you just do Alt+TAB, you have to click on the RDP window session to be able to type. It is ok on SSH thou.

I was able to avoid this issue be using RDP NOT in full screen mode.

I guess this is part of the not yet fixed focussing issues, eg. #1535 and #290...

[Bapoti77]

Not directly, because my keyobard-shortcut for KeePass AutoType is STRG+Q. But the issue is the same.

You press the combination while Keepass is in Focus, right? Because Keepass itself sends the Alt+Tab keys (or minimizes itself) before typing the password (and username) itself. And that's what I mean with focus issues that you don't add back in the remote session but in the mRemoteNG Window...

No, I have KeePass not in focus at that moment:

• I use "Auto-type selected entry" only, so I select the entry which I want to use
• After that, I go (and select) to the window, where I want to Auto-type into
• At that pont, I start Auto-Type with STRG+Q

Same issue for me, was happy to switch to this nightly build due to apparently better DPI handling (4k 150% scaling) through all layers (I use mremote within mremote and sometimes RDP within that).
But this is really a showstopper for me, KeePass is always focussing the main window instead of the active session.

Same here. Currently using 177.2
Really appreciate this being resolved as I am having to drop into the separate RDP app to do any auto-type actions.

The same KeePassXC 2.7.5

This is probably due to the fact that after changing the focus (Alt+Tab) to mRemoteNG, no element of the application is active. Keyboard presses are not forwarded to the remote session (as in stable version 1.76.20). Other elements of the mRemoteNG application interface also do not respond to keystrokes (Tab, Ctrl+Alt+C, etc.)
