Full app opens when i click the browser extension
Is it correct that sometimes when i click the browser extension, that the full windowed app opens, requires me to enter my password there and as soon as it;s unlocked, it closes and sends me back to ...

Thanks 1P_Ben
I just signed in this morning and it did the same, as expected and yes, it still feels wrong this morning.
What would make it feel better for me, would be to authenticate/unlock in the browser window or extension?
The whole being pulled out of your browser feels spammy, like something wrong or bad is happening. It may also look worse to me as I prefer 1Password fullscreen in fullscreen mode. When I get pulled over to the full app, the app appears completely white for a moment whilst it does its starting up stuff, then I sign in, and then it shoves me back and the input boxes on the site take a few moments to catch up and show that 1PW has unlocked.
I hope this gives more ideas as to what I'm seeing and why I may find it more distracting than others who may run in just a small window.
Either way, just trying to document my experiences to help improve my favourite Password Manager (even though they are using Electron for the front end!) ;)
