That doesn't sound like what I'd expect. Our team will be happy to follow up on this issue for you.
Also, with a given delay of not using the system set in the settings (e.g. 1 min), When I shut down my mouse and don't touch the keyboard for a bit more than the delay, The app doesn't auto-lock.
My understanding is that there can sometimes be system-specific reasons for this. This setting is based on your system idle time, but sometimes there can be factors other than simply moving your mouse or touching your keyboard that can affect this. It'd be hard to determine without knowing more about specific your setup, but again we'll be happy to pursue this and see what we can figure out!
If you can send us a short email at support+linux@1password.com with a link to this conversation, we can start figuring out what might be behind this unexpected lock behavior. Thank you again for letting us know!
