1password often ends up with multiple instances running (each with its own trayicon)

I regularly launch the 1password standalone app (using rofi as my launcher). and I also use the Chrome extension too. Over time I often notice that there are several instances of 1Password running...

The semaphore files in ~/.config/1Password/Singleton* files are all symlinks

`
[carpii@beep:~/.config/1Password]$ ls -lhaG Singleton* | cut -d" " -f8,9,10

SingletonCookie -> 12251614063955870704
SingletonLock -> beep-3492226
SingletonSocket -> /tmp/scoped_dir1GPzpI/SingletonSocket
`

The SingletonSocket symlink does point to a valid /tmp file

But SingletonCookie and SingletonLock point to files in the same directory, which do not exist (ie, they are broken symlinks).

Could this be the cause of it?
