Always types `12345678900-q-we7rty` on web-based applications

When trying to use wtype to automatically type into web-based applications, it always types 12345678900-q-we7rty instead of what it is supposed to.

So far I have tested it on Chromium, Firefox, Element and Zulip all with the same result. When using it in my terminal emulator or other non-web applications (e.g. Libreoffice), it works fine and as intended.

Oddly enough, the one browser it does work with is qutebrowser. Firefox, Chromium, VSCodium do not work, but Libreoffice, KeepassXC and any terminal are just fine.

I don't get the same string as the OP, but it definitely mangles the input text completely.

Edit: I think #40 and #31 are the same issues. Recommend merging all three.

I meant to update this, I got it to work in Chromium with --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform and --ozone-platform=wayland but now it cuts off the first character of any input and then "blacklists" the character. Essentially, the first character will not be typed and then also not be typed for the rest of the string.

For example, using wtype 789789789 types 898989.
