[Christian]

On entering Login data to an online account such as google.

Using keepass as password manager I now can not enter my password via paste nor via autotype. Trying any of them results in an invalid password.

Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 will reach End of Life next week which means there isn't really time for any bugfixes that are not already in progress or very critical.

Same situation here but not specific to Ubuntu. Same situation on Debian Stretch with Gnome 3.22.2.
