Auto-Type {CLEARFIELD} is not working on 2.7.0

[Jan-Brugger]

Overview

Today I updated to 2.7.0-snapshot, because 2.6.x was crashing while doing auto-type quite frequently.
On 2.7.0 the {CLEARFIELD} command is not working anymore.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add Auto-Type-Sequenz with {CLEARFIELD}. E.g.: {CLEARFIELD}{USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}
2. Use Auto-Type

Expected Behavior

{CLEARFIELD} should clear the whole, first input-field.

Actual Behavior

{CLEARFIELD} is only deleting the last letter of the text in the first input-field.

Context

Tried on MacBook Pro, Firefox 88.0 and Safari.

KeePassXC - Version 2.7.0-snapshot
Build Typ: Snapshot
Revision: 8a7be10

Operating System: macOS Big Sur 11.3 (20E232)

Same issue is happening again.

Confirmed this is broken

Yes {CLEARFIELD} deletes only the last character, not the whole input field.

I am facing the same issue in v2.7.1. (MacBook Pro, macOS Monterey 12.4)

I figured out what's wrong... this is my fault... although the Apple docs say you should send a modifier key and then the actual key (eg, CMD then A)... that is a total lie. I have to fix my code that handles Auto-Type modifiers like +, ^, % etc to make Clearfield work again.

Should this work by now? I just tried on 2.7.4 - and it still seems to be broken  ☹️

now on 2.7.6 and the fields are still not cleared … at least with SQuirreL and on web server logins.
Right now the content of the field is not touched at all.

Ubuntu 22.04, X11 here.
