I've definitely run into that. Even more frustrating is when there was one particular site that forced me to actually delete the last character of my password and then retype it. Just focusing in the field wasn't enough, I had to actually send it a keystroke. And Ctrl-V to paste the password in manually didn't count. I suppose typing a random character at the end and then deleting it would have worked too.

When ctrl+v is disabled to "prevent brute force bots" or something ridiculous
