Drag and drop losing characters

Dragging and dropping usernames and passwords sometimes loses characters. This is most reproducible (50%+) in remote desktop windows but also occasionally happens in browsers. Normally seems to be one of the first few letters.

Drag and drop is from the entry displayed in the main 1password window. No addons etc. involved.

Here's a (anonymised) example:
Saved Username:
DOMAIN\martin

Usernames from drag & drop:
DMAIN\martin
OMAIN\martin

1Password Version: 8.6.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 11 21H2

Windows

Thanks for the update @ag_mike_d, hopefully that fixes it. I'll let you know if there are any more problems 🙂

Hi @ag_mike_d the drag and drop bug is back in recent versions of 1Password on Windows 11.

Currently on 8.10.27 but it's been happening for a couple of weeks. I've still got the OP_CLASSIC_INPUT environment variable set.

Dragging a password from 1Password to a remote desktop loses a good chunk of the string, normally at the beginning. Sometimes it loses the entire string.

For example testing with a password like abcdef-12345-ghijklm-nopqrs only -ghijklm-nopqrs appeared.

I'm sorry that the issue has returned. Can you confirm that you still see the issue after updating to 8.10.28 (the latest version at the time of writing: 1Password for Windows Releases

While I plan to look into the drag and drop issue with you further, I'm also interested in hearing if you'd find the new auto-type feature more useful than drag and drop for your uses: Experiment #5 - Auto-type for Windows (Nightly) — 1Password Community

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
