Add a longer start delay.

@droidmonkey I tried that. No change. I changed all those settings, i even added an additional character before the first character and it didn't work. Only once i set the first character to be lower case did it work... but that is not really the solution...

Are you using the Virtual Keyboard mode to autotype? #7507

[eitch]

I don't have this option, so i'll say no. My host system ist PopOS!

Are you using a non-us keyboard layout?

[eitch]

Yes, a CH keyboard

This is most likely #7881. Please test with a us keyboard layout to confirm

[eitch]

Yes, it seems to be the issue. Thanks.
