Why is 1Password opening in the background when I manually launch it?

When I click on 1Password in the dock, it opens behind the active window. That is annoying because I am waiting for it to show and then have to dig for it. 1Password Version: 8.9.4 Extension...

Since the upgrade to 1Pass 8 this is happening to me as well. For some reason Chrome stays in the foreground when I open 1Pass, forcing me to essentially open it twice. In response to the above questions:

  1. Not using multiple desktops.
  2. Don't have auto-unlock.
  3. I do not keep 1Pass running, neither as a browser extension nor as a menu item.
  4. This only seems to happen when using Spotlight to open it (which I use for everything) and Chrome (where I do not have the plugin enabled). Seems like maybe it's expecting the plugin somehow? Also, to keep things mysterious this doesn't happen every time. Maybe 3-4 times a day for me, which, like duckydan mentioned, is extremely irritating.

Hope this helps!
