1Password/Mac unhides app window on menubar mouseover

If the 1Password app is hidden (ex: cmd-H), and the 1Password icon is in the menubar:

mousing over that icon (in the menubar), causes the app (whether vault is locked or unlocked) to show its window (though not necessarily to bring it to the front).

I suppose I can see how someone might want that? though I find it distracting.

I've seen this behavior for quite some time, but I'm currently using:

1Password for Mac 8.10.40 (81040031)

on macOS 15.3.1 (24D70)

Hello @mvr! 👋

Thanks for reaching out. Before we continue, it looks like you're using a version of 1Password 8 that hasn't been updated since August 2024. The latest version is 8.10.64, please update: How to keep 1Password up to date

Once you've updated, can you still reproduce the issue? I can't reproduce the issue using these steps:

Open the main 1Password window.
Right-click on the 1Password icon in the Dock and click Hide.
Hover over the 1Password icon in the menu bar.

Let me know if I misunderstood the issue.

hmm; no notification of updates, so something broke there 😕

updated manually (strange that it didn't relaunch afterward) and now on 1Password for Mac 8.10.64 (81064007) - with the same behavior

@mvr I'm sorry for the late reply. Are you sill seeing the issue on the latest version (8.10.72)? If you are then can you post a screenshot of what you see when you hover over the menubar icon? Make sure that nothing sensitive is visible on the screen.

If you don't want to post the screenshot to the public community, please send it to support@1Password.com and include a link to this thread. After emailing in, you'll receive a reply from BitBot, our friendly robot assistant with a Support ID that looks something like [#ABC-12345-678]. Post that here, and I'll be able to locate your message and make sure it's gotten to the right place.

correct; it's still happening - all I see when I hover over the 1P menu bar icon, is "1Password"; screenshot attached:
