1Password 8 icon location in mac menu bar not remembered between app startups
I'm having the same issue that was reported here back in February 2022:
https://1password.community/discussion/127483/macos-menu-bar-icon-doesnt-remember-location-when-moved
You can move an icon in the mac menu bar by holding cmd and dragging. This is really useful because you can get the most used ones at the end that doesn't get obscured by programs with wider menu sets. 1Password is a critical program, so I like to have it on the far right closer to the clock.
In the Feb 2022 post the response was:
"The 1Password 8 menubar icon not remembering its position is something that our developers are investigating and I've added your report to the internal work item that we have open for this. Thanks for reporting the issue!"
Just wondering if this is a regression, because I don't remember noticing this until very recently, and is there a way to make this function correctly, or will there be a fix soon?
1Password Version: 8.10.6 (81006027)
Extension Version: 2.10.0 (20246)
OS Version: macOS 12.6.5 (Monterey)
Browser:_ Mainly Firefox 113.0.1
Hi folks,
This should now be fixed as of 1Password version 8.11.16. We appreciate everyone's patience!

Thank you for the reply. I'm happy that things are working for you now when restarting or shutting down your Mac. 🙂
The issue to have 1Password's icon remember its position when the app is manually closed and then reopened remains open and hopefully that will be fixed in the future as well.

1P_Dave - yes, doing that it opens up on the left again afterwards as you say.
However, if I shutdown the computer and then start it up again (without manually quitting 1Password), it survives the restart and comes back in the place I left it. I'm pretty sure that every reboot it used to move to the left again, so - partial inadvertent fix?
The fact it remembers between restarts is all I really need - the manual quit and restart amnesia is annoying, but nowhere near as annoying as every single time you use your computer regression.

Thanks for the reply, I'm still seeing the issue on my Mac and the work item for the issue is still open with our development team. Can you try these steps:
- Hold down the Command key and move the 1Password 8 menu bar icon over to the right between two other icons.
- Right-click on the 1Password menu bar icon and click Quit.
- Re-open 1Password from the Applications folder.
Is the 1Password icon in the position where you left it? Or is it the left-most icon in the menu bar?
