App main window not showing in GNOME

Hello all.

The problem solved itself, mostly. I say mostly because sometimes I still get weird behavior: some times the main windows still doesn't appear; other times the window for entering the password doesn't get the focus.

One thing I noticed is that, since the update, all 1password windows ignore my (increased) scaling factor. I also noticed that, now, 1password has its own zoom feature (I am not sure if it was there before, because with the scaling factor I didn't need it). I am pretty sure the last update introduced some tweaks to the application appearance or size, which would explain also kitty's issues, But right now, with the main window showing again, those issues are quite hard to pinpoint for me.

I am on Arch using Gnome and have also experienced very annoying bugs with 1password as of this version update too. To me it looks like there is some weird extra padding being added to the window making it too small in full screen. On a vanilla gnome with no extensions there is about 10px of padding around the window (that's just an eye-balled guesstimate). In the padded area it has a weird graphical effect. I have just installed KDE to see if these issues are bound to Gnome and they are. These are not happening in KDE and only on Gnome with the latest version of 1password as shown below.

Install details:

• 1Password for Linux 8.11.16 (81116035)
• Installed via the official AUR listing (1password)
• Distro: Arch Linux
• Kernel: Linux 6.17.7-arch1-1
• DE: GNOME 49.1

If I understand you correctly, you are seeing the main 1password window in the Window Switcher and - I presume - the Overview, and the system tray icon appears. This indicates that the window is somewhere where you can't see it, possibly off-screen, on another workspace, or hidden behind a window.

When you alt-tab to the window and release the keys, you should focus the window and the window should raise. You should also switch to the workspace containing the window.

1. Which of these things happen?
2. Are you using dynamic or static workspaces?
3. How many monitors do you have*?
4. Have you temporarily disabled all Extensions?

If the problem is with the application, it may help to try running the it from the shell as it is run from the `.desktop` file. This will produce quite a lot of output including actual and apparent errors which don't prevent the application from running.

This is an example from an Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.3 with GNOME 46 on Wayland.

$ locate 1password.desktop

/usr/share/applications/1password.desktop
$ grep ^Exec /usr/share/applications/1password.desktop
Exec=/opt/1Password/1password %U
$ /opt/1Password/1password

*[Sometime I have a window open and cannot find it on any of my workspaces because (for reasons which elude me) the application decided it should open on a far-away monitor.]

Some news: I updated 1password in another computer with the same system and found the same problem, so I don't think it's an issue with my particular configuration
