Dear Maintainer,

My passphrase to unlock my database contains a quotation mark ("). I use the US
Intl keyboard layout. With Layout you need to press " key and afterwards the
space key.

If the passphrase is not shown during input, the input reads a white space
instead of the ". Only if make the input visible whenI type the password the
correct character will be entered.

   * What led up to the situation?

    Open KeepassXC
    Unlock the database with passphrase that contains a quotation mark using US
Intl Layout wihout making input visible
    make input visible and see a white spacce instead of quotation mark

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Making the password visible during input displays the correct character

   * What was the outcome of this action?

I have to either switch my password or make my password visible during typing

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I aslo reported this directly to KeepassXC Project
(https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/5517). They claim, this is
a bug in qt5 which has been fixed in a upstream version. But I do not know
which qt package against to report this bug.

I would hope this could be fixed before the freeze, because this is quite
anoying.

Best wishes,
Tobias
