Keepassxc: Spaces in additional attribute not working for autotype

Created on 28 Feb 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: keepassxreboot/keepassxc

Expected Behavior

In 2.2.4 I had an additional attribute with a space in it like SOME NAME and it worked when using it for autotype sequence using something like {S:SOME NAME}.

Current Behavior

In 2.3.0 Autotype sequences with attributes like {S:SOME NAME} containing spaces gives the error The Syntax of your Auto-type statement is incorrect (whereas {S:SOMENAME} gives no error). Not sure if this is new behavior in 2.3.0 (using KDBX4) but just something I wanted to ask about in case it's a bug.

Operating system: Windows

Check out release/2.3.1 branch, should be fixed now

We will close this issue once 2.3.1 is released officially

I'm getting the same error message for an additional attribute with an underscore in the name.

My equivalent case has the attribute SOME_NAME, and auto-type says the syntax {S:SOME_NAME} is incorrect. Changing it to SOMENAME and, respectively, {S:SOMENAME} works as expected.

OS: Ubuntu 17.10, amd64

Thanks for the report, I can reproduce this.

I will fix it in the next minor 2.3.1 version

Adding some more info: Autotype also fails if the additional attribute has an accent such as 铆, 贸, 煤, 芒, 茫, etc.
Just pointing that it is a regression since it worked fine until last version.

Check out release/2.3.1 branch, should be fixed now

We will close this issue once 2.3.1 is released officially

Fixed in #1626
