Comment 2 for bug 801415

I can only reproduce the autotype problems when I have more than one keyboard layout set up.
If I remove all layouts but one in the keyboard layout settings autotype works with dvorak and my default (german elimate deadkeys)
This is probably a xdotool problem as the typing is also wrong when invoking it directly from a terminal:
xdotool type abcdexyz
ab→dexŧz

I can't reproduce the "Open Database" dialog opening.
