This is a bad bug. I lose focus all the time while typing, working in applications, etc. I thought it was a bug in the new mac OS release (and may be) but now I wonder if it is a 1PW bug only?
Just now when I lost focus in Chrome while typing, this time I noticed that instead of Chrome, in the upper left corner it said 1password.
I read a few related forum posts about this, one which said try to enable background in 1pw settings, but this was already enabled. Then I made a screen recording of the issue happening per this forum discussion. I'll send it in.
But, I may have observed the issue: one of the many times the 1PW app popped in front of my work, I noticed it had a little red cloud with a slash through it, on the top toolbar. Hover says something like "click to reconnect". I did, and 1PW stopped stealing focus.
But the reason I think this is a bug is: a) Why should 1PW become unstable when network connections are spotty? b) Why should I have to manually click a button to reconnect? Why would it not do that on its own? c) Why does the application keep stealing focus? If it is popping to the front to alert us of something that needs our attention, why is there no message or action request?
