I think I'm having the same issue. Some characters are changed when autotyping. For example, the autotype function transforms a password like this one:

-yQB+Z;x%\t]+17m1 to
/yQB]Z<x%\t]]17m1

My keyboard layout is Spanish.

I forgot to say that for me it's happening with keepassx 0.4.3 on ubuntu 11.10. On ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 it used to wotk just fine.

I have the same problem with a GB keyboard and GB language. For me it swaps @ for ", which is very annoying when your username is an e-mail.

I only get this if I use the auto-type if I copy username and password individually it copies things correctly.
