The password manager KeePassXC has a feature called Auto-Type that allows you to enter text such as user names or passwords in a specific window.

Until Alacritty v0.12.3, Auto-Type worked correctly with Alacritty.

However, since v0.13.0, Alacritty can't receive uppercase letters from Auto-Type, so when I need to run a command that requires a password (e.g. sudo), I must use another terminal such as Gnome Terminal.

System

OS: Linux (Ubuntu 22.04)
Version: alacritty 0.13.1
Linux: X11

Reproduction

1. Add a new entry in KeePassXC for testing
   • Set its password to lower UPPER.
2. Run alacritty --config-file=/dev/null --print-events
   • I passed --config-file=/dev/null to ignore configuration files.
3. Open KeePassXC
4. Click {PASSWORD} in the Perform Auto-Type dropdown menu
5. Click Yes in the Confirm Auto-Type dialog
6. Check what has been typed in Alacritty's window
   • lower UPPER is the expected result.
