1. That's a UI change. Strikes me as a bad decision, one that was under-informed by user-testing. (Only experienced 1Pwd users would expect this features.) There's a workaround: click on the website in the right-side panel, but you and I have formed different habits!)
2. Sounds like a stone-cold bug. Unless it's the same cause that I suggest for #4, below.

Apropos my gripe in #4, this blog post is reassuring: https://blog.1password.com/better-more-useful-1password/
Curious what the team has to say.
