Keepasxc not working as expected

I just installed Arch on my wife's machine after having excellent results on mine for a year.
The only problem I had that I can't figure out is with Keepassxc.
It starts as it should.  It opens the data file and will display all the entries as it should.

So: I Firefox
In keepass, I click on the url and it will load in the browser.
In keepass I bring up the menu that asks if I want to enter the username and/or the password, I click on it.
Keepass then minimises itself, as it should, but nothing is entered in the browser.

This works on my machine, but won't work on hers.
The only software differences between our machines is the mine uses X-11 wit Nividia graphics and hers uses Wayland with Intel graphics.

I did try both Windows repair solutions, reboot and then uninstall and reinstall  which, like Windows, did nothing.  :-)

I'm hoping this is only a simple configuration setting.

Automatic typing does not work in wayland I think. You can use the clipboard or the browser extension instead.

I was kind of afraid of that.

I'll have to try the browser extension.

Thanks for your reply.

There's still hope for Wayland auto-type per the main dev's comment here:

Perhaps my humor is too dry of late. I'll work on that.

Thanks for the chuckle!
I think, for the time being, we'll use the Firefox builtin password manager.  It works.  I just hope it's secure enough.
