Linux/Xorg/XFCE: Autotype not reacting for every window #5958

Description

Overview

The behavior of the auto type hot key is different in how the windows it reacts in were created.
My best guess is that this is a permission problem, but I don't see any error messages.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open keepassxc
  2. Take a XFCE-Terminal (opened by the xfce session manager on startup)
  3. Press autotype hotkey
  4. Cursor blinks, nothing happens

Now comes the interesting part: It works for starter-generated windows or windows created with the "File/New Window" menu.

Expected Behavior

  1. Open a XFCE Terminal
  2. Press autotype hotkey
  3. Autotype shows up. If interaction with the OS fails, I'd at least expect a popup with an error message.

Actual Behavior

The cursor is blinking, but nothing is happening.
Reassigning the autotype hotkey makes the behavior move with the new key assignment.
