I use autokey to create hot-keys for automatically typing strings of text into terminals and a number of other programming IDEs.
After installing Ubuntu 14.10, the auto-typing output of these "phases" has become severely corrupted. They appear correctly in the autokey-gtk gui, but when I initiate them the output is corrupted.
For example, I saved the string below as a phrase in autokey-gtk:

However, when I attempt to auto-type this string, using an auto-key "phrase", the output of this string into a terminal becomes:

Also, after Autokey-GTK types this corrupted output (automatically into the terminal), the terminal itself becomes corrupted in very strange ways. For, example, the backspace button will backspace as expected a few times, and then it starts typing strange series of characters instead of backspacing. Additionally I've experienced autokey corrupting other applications upon attempting to auto-type phrases. For example, I've locked up gedit too, simply trying to autokey something into it.
