Key combo to dismiss the autofill popup?

I've got the Show autofill menu on field focus option on, because it's generally very handy. It occasionally causes trouble on some poorly-designed websites.

If I try to buy a movie ticket on Cineplex.com (big Canadian movie theatre site with glitches and bad UX), they have an input box with a select box that toggles on focus. The autofill menu comes up on top, and then if I click outside to dismiss the autofill menu, it also closes the dropdown.

Before click: (notice no 1password icon shows in the field)

After click: (notice now a 1password icon is showing)

I can click through to the "suggestions" and find the "hide on this page," I guess, but it might be handy to be able to just hit the Escape key or something to just dismiss the one instance of the window rather than blacklisting the page or whatever the hide button does.


1Password Version: n/a
Extension Version: 2.0.5
OS Version: Firefox / Windows 10

    When you dismiss with the escape key, it reappears as soon as you type something. Can it be made to not reappear until at least a page reload, or that I click the 1password icon?

    Hey marshall_stacks ,
    Thanks for the additional info.

    You can also dismiss 1Password more subtly by clicking the little 1Password icon on the right side of the field, which should only dismiss 1Password's inline menu without dismissing the website's selection dropdown.

    Does that work better?

    Hey, @ag_ana ! You're right, but the UX is still a little tricky. In this case, escape closes the popup AND the dropdown element beneath it. It's not too big of a big deal on this particular Cineplex site: Clicking again opens the dropdown again but not the popup, interestingly. Maybe something like a "stopPropagation" on the keypress handler would make this a bit better: If the Esc key closed the 1password popup but then didn't also affect the underlying page.

    If you want to try it yourself, just go to the Cineplex website and pretend you're going to buy tickets for something. For example:
    https://www.cineplex.com/Movie/shangchi-and-the-legend-of-the-ten-rings?cmpid=NPCS_Home_Showtimes_ENG hit the "GET TICKETS" button near the top of the page. Then click the middle of the 3 dropdowns that says "Select theatre or city"

    Hi marshall_stacks!

    You should be able to dismiss the popup menu by pressing the Esc key. Can you please share a full URL to that form so we can test the same form and see if we can reproduce this?
