Reporting some issues
Hey -
I'm not on the beta channel, but I recently switched to 1P8 and have noticed a few little issues. OK for me to report them here? Or is there a better way?
And is it alright if I just...

I ran into difficulties getting 1Password to autofill into the Finder dialog that shows up when making an AFP connection to a server:
In the end, I guess it turned out to be user error and it could very well be due to quirks of MacOS and nothing controllable by 1Password, but what I found was that 1Password was trying to Autofill into a different "app" than the one I needed it to. For instance, the first time I tried it, I was given the dialog about "can't verify Finder should have access to your [...] item. Do you want to fill it anyway?"
But regardless of which choice I made, to "Fill Once" or "Fill & Update Login", the credential did not get filled in.
After messing around with it more, then I ended up getting it to say, "can't verify 1Password should have access to your [...] item...". That's when I realized something funny was happening. Apparently the AFP login dialog is actually associated with a process called "NetAuthAgent", and the NetAuthAgent process is only in focus for the first moment after that dialog opens. If you click any other windows, like Finder or 1Password, and then return focus to the login dialog, the NetAuthAgent process does not actually regain focus (Or 1Password cannot tell that it has regained focus....?), even though it visually appears to have gained focus. So the last app you clicked on before that is the one that 1Password tries to autofill....
So the trick is to use the 1Password Quick Access to lookup and Autofill the credential immediately after the dialog is presented, being sure not to click into any other windows beforehand.
