1Password 8 Freezes Chrome when unlocking

I was finding that it was worse with the keyboard shortcut, but the drop down menu at the top of my screen, at the top of the browser, and the inline dropdown all caused the same problem. It literally made my computer unusable. So a bug in Chrome may have been a factor - but I had the same problem in every browser including Safari.

Downgrading to 1Password 7 was a HUGE relief. It works instantly, reliably, exactly as it should. 1Password should be invisible and magical (like it was), but 1Password 8 was like riding down a pothole filled torn up cobblestone street on my bicycle (which I have to do some in NYC). I don't wish that on anyone.
