Update Failure/Can't Paste New Pwd

I used 1P to update a pwd on a website. In the dialogue I chose to update a current login. It didn't save the new pwd that it generated. I've seen this before.
So I reset the pwd a second time, accepted the system-generated pwd and copied it.

When I opened 1P to update the pwd manually, it wouldn't leave the pwd field empty. I deleted the old pwd and before I could paste in the new one, it pre-filled the field. I tried this several times. In the end I pasted the new pwd onto the end of the pre-filled string and carefully deleted the non-pwd characters. When this was saved I re-opened the login to see if the pre-fill would recur, which it did. Interestingly, it used the same string in the pre-fill everytime in both sessions.

Thanks.

    Hi mitchr! I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble updating an item, and when you tried to manually edit it in the app, the field kept re-filling itself each time you deleted the contents. Could you email in to support+forum@1password.com so we can dig into this further?

    With your email please include:
