I've confirmed the same behaviour for Keepass.

I saw someone mention that it might be possible to implement a udev-rule and direct it to point at /dev/uinput in order to accomplish the same goal: https://github.com/rockihack/keepassx/blob/wayland-autotype/wayland.txt

Comment 2 John Apple II 2019-01-18 00:50:38 UTC
Apologies, forgot to mention that this is happening in Fedora 29 latest under Wayland, for me.

Autotype doesn't work with text editors, but it works with Firefox and Chromuim, where it's really useful. Tested with keepassxc-2.4.1-1.fc29.x86_64.rpm

Looks like a feature to me, not a bug. Why would I want my password typed into a text editor?

It's not really the text editor, but generically useful for things like system authentication dialogs, ssh-passwords into Terminal, GPG-key password for mail or signing, or AD-logins for virt-viewer that it's needed for.  This is the sole reason I am not using Wayland, yet, because this functionality is critical for my day-job.
