@SergeantConfused commented on GitHub (Feb 27, 2024):

After further testing, this behaviour seems to occur if the Accessibility Service (Settings > Accessibility > Installed apps) is activated in other applications as well, such as Microsoft Authenticator or Link to Windows. This report will be closed, as this seems to stem from the Accessibility Service in general and not specifically from how Bitwarden is using it.
