Question

Chrome extension + textarea shows stored logins on arrow keys

With the 1password chrome extension it's not possible to navigate up/down in textareas with the arrow-keys up/down on the keyboard if there's a stored password for this domain.

Whenever one hits up or down key, the extension displays the login. If one hit's escape, the overlay with the login goes away, but the up/down arrow keys just put it back on.

Example: github.com pull request template. When one edits the template (with sometimes lots of text in it) you can not go lines up or down which is really a showstopper for using the extension (see screenshot attached).

Is it possible to remove the overlay for textareas and / or make it configurable?

Thank you,
regards
Sascha

@finwe we actually don't provide an option to fill things like name, phone number, and birthdate from the inline menu. Of the data in an Identity item, only an address can be filled from the inline menu. The other data have to be filled from the extension icon in the browser's toolbar.

Ultimately, we've found that filling an address from the inline menu is more convenient for a higher number of users than not. That being said, we can understand why some users prefer not to have 1Password fill addresses. We do have a feature request to turn that off, and I can add your voice to it. Hopefully it is something that our developers will consider in the future.
