Package: xdotool
Version: 1:3.20130111.1-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The following shows an error in xdotool:
----
$ cat xdoscript
key KP_Enter
type 'abc'
key KP_Enter
type '123'
$ xdotool xdoscript
abckeyKP_Entertype123$
$ abckeyKP_Entertype123
----
I.e. in a script, after the first line with a 'type' command
the rest of the script file is echoed verbatim. Expected (and
elsewhere experienced) behaviour is that only the rest of the
line with the type command is echoed, the next line starting
a new command.
The xdoscript is plain ASCII, with unix line endings.
Setting locale to "C" does not fix the issue.
thank you for your time,
Kalle

I don't think this is a bug, this is xdotool working as documented.
reading xdotool(1), i see:

I'm closing this ticket because i think it's working as documented, but
feel free to reopen it if you have more details that explain why i'm
mistaken.
Thanks for the report,
