Description

I just installed the newest iteration of this wonderful piece of software, hoping that Autotype would work again on Catalina. For the most part, it does work, however when I want to Perform Autotype in Pulse Secure (a VPN software), MacPass says that the right permissions are not set.
Is this expected behaviour? On websites the autotype does work.

Research direction

Begin by reproducing Perform Autotype with MacPass 0.7.10 on macOS 10.15 using Pulse Secure, and compare it with autotype on a website. The issue provides no source file or test entry point; done would require determining whether the permission warning is expected and resolving the documented behavior if it is not.
