1Password keeps blocking TextExpander [Secure Input]

TextExpander is one of those critical applications I use on my Mac (and iOS Devices) as important to me as 1Password, DefaultFolder, and a handful of others. What's driving me crazy is 1PassWord keeps blocking TextExpander and doesn't unblock it when it doesn't need to. I can understand why 1Password itself might not like applications snooping its text fields. I'm okay with that. But when it blocks TextExpander system-wide and then doesn't release it so that I can now no longer use TextExpander until I close 1Password and wait a few minutes, that's not acceptable. You need to fix this. I'm using the current Beta of 1Password 8.

1Password Version: 7.0.2
Extension Version: 2.1.4
OS Version: 12.0.1

Hi @colep

We've identified some cases where Secure Input is held for longer than necessary/appropriate, and I'm hopeful the engineering team will be able to find solutions to those issues. 🙏🏻 Thanks for taking the time to write in about it.

I just wanted to confirm what DAVEOTHER is saying. I love both 1Password and TextExpander but they don't play well together. I open 1Password when I need it but then have to quit it in order to use TextExpander. Very frustrating... Did not happen with Version 7.

Did not happen with Version 7.

Oh it definitely did. 😬 But perhaps not under the same circumstances as are occurring with 1Password 8. We're looking into it. 👀

I am using 1P8, and textexpander is blocked every launch. Multiple closes and opens are required to clear it. A real bore this.
