1Password "stealing" focused Window in macOS?

Using macOS 13.6.7 with 1Password 8.10.36 with the browser extension 2.6.21 installed and active in Safari ... In recent couple of weeks I'm noticing that the focus window of the Safari browser is getting turned "off" (best way I can describe it). I have to re-click into the window to make it active to allow me to press buttons, print -- basically do anything with the web site. In fact, this loss of focus interfered with my writing this. I've not nailed it down completely, but it seems like it might be 1Password doing this as sometimes without me doing this, 1Password becomes the active window and sometimes it brings itself to the "top" of the "stack" of macOS windows I can see. 1Password the only other browser extention that has been updated (a number of times) in recent years so I don't suspect the other two extensions (DEVONthink and Reeder). Mystery and a bit of a bother, frankly.


1Password Version: 8.10.36
Extension Version: 2.6.21
OS Version: 13.6.7
Browser: Safari

I am experiencing the same issue and using the latest Chrome version (Version 130.0.6723.59 (Official Build) (arm64)). Running macOS Sonoma 14.7. The problem started happening right after updating Chrome to this version.

I emailed some diagnostic files and noticed I was on the Beta channel for the 1Password app. I switched to the Production channel, relaunched the application, confirmed the channel change in the About box. That seems to alleviate the problem for me. At least it hasn't reproduced so far since then. Still using the beta Chrome extension, though.
