UX Improvements - Copy for RDP, show passwords & the new search

@fabaon we don't have any news to share on the design of the search feature at this point, but if we do, we'll make sure to highlight it in the release notes! Thanks for your patience as we keep iterating to improve the app. 👍

Hi @JohnnySheppardIsode, great to hear that you've seen significant improvement in this area! We appreciate the feedback too. 😃

Hi,

I've noticed that copy and paste seems to work a lot better in the latest Early Access 8.4.0 - I haven't managed to get the copy and paste to fail so far - trying things that would usually cause this.

This is great, Thanks 1Password!!!!

I'm glad to hear that :)
What about the universal search? The current search is unfortunately unusable in our use case :(

It's indeed something we're working on @JohnnySheppardIsode 👍

Hi @upwave ,

I noticed a few days ago a similar thread to this one (started after this one - https://1password.community/discussion/122408/copy-password-doesnt-work) that just discussing the copy and paste issue. Towards the end someone had found some interesting info about different value types in the clipboard being updated by 1Password, but not always all the value types.

I had a little look using the software they tried and I see similar beahviour too. The 1Password staff said they'd updated the ticket for the copy/paste issue with that new info, so hopefully they are closer to finding a fix for it :)

Hi, the problem with copying unfortunately still exists, is there any info here when this will be fixed? Firefox is still the minor problem, the RDP connections are what massively disturbs.

What about the possibility to filter search results by vault? Unfortunately, the new search is unusable as long as all vaults are always searched. With 3000 passwords it finds dozens of results for each search term.

Hey all, just wanted to let the thread know that I've been working on reproducing these behaviours, and I'll be following up with the Development team with our collective findings.

Notably I can re-create @Upwave 's interesting find in that, once I've copied any bit of text from within Firefox, I can't copy/paste from 1Password back into Firefox. Even more puzzling is that, with Chrome and Firefox open side-by-side, Firefox pastes it's own copied text, whereas Chrome pastes the text I copied from 1Password. :sweat:

We'll be digging into this to see what we can dig up. Thanks all! :smile:

I have also tested a bit, but i can't find out what the problem is. It doesn't just affect RDP connections, but all windows. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't. Sometimes only in certain windows. In Firefox in particular, it no longer works if I have used Ctrl + C somewhere. Very strange.
I don't know whats an elevated window is, it's just a "normal" rdp connection. Copy from other sources (and even from 1PW via Ctrl + C) always works. Never used drag&drop ;)

Hi Dayton_ag, I've been playing with the copy and paste issue a bit, and I think I've found something that can trigger the issue. To answer your question about RDP though, no - I'm not using an elevated window.

So I have seen this issue both in RDP (not all the time, but most of the time), and also in just general use but specifically when copying passwords or other data from 1Password to 1Password. This is because I'm trying to change some of my entries to a different type, so I open the old entry in a new window, then create the new entry in the main 1Password window. This morning it seemed to be working fine -> Create a new entry, hit the copy button on the username, paste it into the new entry, hit the copy on the password, paste it into the new entry. Then I tried copying the note text (there's no copy button here, so I selected it, then ctrl-c) and pasted it into the notes section of my new entry. I then just tried doing the username and password again using the buttons (not sure why I did this, but glad I did), and now they no longer copied and pasted properly. However - the interesting thing is, after copying a username or password and it NOT pasting into the new 1Password entry - I COULD paste it into Visual Studio Code (I'm sure something like notepad would be the same).

I then tried the same thing with RDP - and the same kind of thing happened. Initially I could copy and paste using the copy button on the 1Password fields- but after I'd copied some text within RDP, I could then no longer copy and paste between 1Password and RDP - but I could still paste the field into my local Visual Studio Code.

So it seems like when something else uses the clipboard, this perhaps upsets 1Password a little but not completely?
