"Show in large type" hides when focusing elsewhere
When I use "Show in large type" and navigate away to e.g. a safari page (where I need the pwd), the large type dialog is dismissed. Not very useful. I did notice that once I move that Large Type window a bit, it does stay visible so I can use it. Silly, fix please.

Click on the top of the large type bar, and relocating its position is the desired approach for those who want to pin the item to the screen. Such as keep it displayed on one monitor and work on a different one. The initial method is for users who may need to view the item and not interact with it. I use this to show passwords as needed, and when I do not want it to pined to the screen.
In short, it's a feature, not a shortcoming. :chuffed:

So anyone who uses large text and does not move the dialog a bit will need to memorize the hard to memeorize/long password.
Feature? I think not.

Yes, it's used (when the window is not moved) for temporarily showing the password. I use it this way so that it's not forgotten and left exposed, and other times when I need it persistent, I relocate the window.
Years ago, when this feature was being developed, it had considerable feedback from both sets of users. Those wanting it persistent and those not wanting it to hang around. This was the solution to fit both groups.
Large Type is one of the lesser known gems of 1Password.

Forgotten and left exposed could be solved in other ways - (e.g. timer). But let me not disregard "considerable feedback" from the past however much this feels wacky and annoying to me.
