1password 8 constantly takes focus

Hi there — sorry to bump an old thread, but this sounds similar to what I'm seeing. I'm encountering this on macOS 1Password 8.8.0 (80800203 Production channel), not Beta channel. But maybe some more details may help?

I definitely encountered and could reproduce it when browsing, which you can imagine caused issues when working in things like Google Docs :) So, I've disabled the browser extensions for the time being in Safari (v2.3.7) and Edge, and it seems to have resolved itself.

The behavior is:

• The 1Password application pulled focus occasionally OR a few seconds after I'd return focus to the browser OR a few seconds after switching tabs. (That last one about tab switching isn't reliably reproduced, but seemed to be the behavior.)
• If I quit the 1Password app entirely, it would start back up when it attempted to pull focus.
• If I X'd out of the 1Password main window, 1Password would still grab focus, but there would be no window, obviously.
• I noticed one time the search field was focused, so I thought that perhaps this caused it; I unfocused it, alt-tab'd back over to my browser, but a few moments later… bam, 1Password application grabbed focus again, but the search field wasn't focused. So, seemed coincidental.
• A restart today did nothing.

I don't know offhand how long this has been going on, but for whatever reason today the issue was noticeable enough that I came hunting for a solution, and found this thread in the beta forum describing a really similar issue.

I don't think it was happening prior to prod 8.8.0, however. I only recently updated a few days ago and something like this I'd definitely notice if it had been, like, weeks.

Hope this may help pinpoint what's happening! I've been using 1Password since v2 or 3 and love it and depend on it. I haven't installed the new betas to see if it's resolved there; that will be my next step. Fingers crossed. Either way, thank you!
