Question

1Password for Linux - Quick access delay

Hi!

I am using 1Password for Linux, and I notice a significant delay when opening the quick access tooltip. It is taking about 2-3 seconds, and can sometimes take up to 10 seconds to appear when 1Password is locked.

I have set the keyboard shortcuts using the following instructions: https://support.1password.com/keyboard-shortcuts/?linux

When clicking the 1Password icon in the status bar, it also takes a farily long time. On Windows everything is instant.

As can be seen on the video, there is a noticeable delay on Linux compared to Windows: https://streamable.com/2rvana This may not seem as huge of a delay, but it impacts my productivity a lot.

Is this issue known, and is there any way to address it? I am using Fedora 42 with KDE Plasma 6.3.4. I am using 1Password version 8.10.72. I am using the official 1Password RPM distribution from https://support.1password.com/install-linux/

Please let me know if you need any further details, thanks!

    I think it might be more electron/wayland related than 1 password since timing it shows ~200ms but actual render takes longer.

    $time 1password --quick-access 
    real    0m0.195s
    user    0m0.118s
    sys     0m0.071s

    Seeing the same problem on Wayland on Ubuntu 24.04 (GNOME 46), using `ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto`.

    The symptoms are somewhat similar, but not quite: the Quick access would open normally the first time around, and eventually it would get slower and slower, to the point where it doesn't show up at all, and I see in the dock that there's an empty stuck "Quick access" window that can't be closed.

    When this happens, the SSH key approval prompts get pretty slow to show up/render too.

    This is a regression that happened, if I was to guess, some time this year, sadly I don't know a more specific time, and this doesn't immediately reproduce, so a bit hard to bisect. 1Password doesn't report its Electron version anywhere, can't use that as a starting point either.
