"Large Type" disappears when you click off it

Chrome on OS X using the extension.

If I load a web page that asks for chars 2, 6, 14 of password I need to use the "Large Type" option as it shows the numbers that correspond to each character.

But, as soon I click back to the web browser the password disappears.

I sort of get why, but it's frustrating because I'd like it to be there until I close the window.

Is there a setting for this that I've missed please?

    @musicwallaby - yep. Click the opened Large Type window and drag it around. You'll see the familiar "stoplight" navigation buttons appear in the upper left-hand corner of the window. Once that happens, the window will persist and must be closed like any other Finder window, by clicking the red button.

    @Lars thanks, I noticed I can do that from the full 1Password app but with the browser plugin it doesn't seem to work that way, the "stoplight" bar/buttons appear but the large type window just disappears when I move back to the browser.

    @musicwallaby - if you're using 1Password mini or browser extension to do this, the reason it's disappearing is that you haven't selected the item in question to persist. The mini/extension functions differently than the main app in this regard; most of the time if someone is using the browser extension, they're looking for a specific login to find and use within the browser -- since that's where they're accessing it. If you want an item you've accessed to persist, you can click the anchor button at the bottom left of the item pop-up, which will cause that item to become persistent, after which you can then click on the password, choose Large Type dragging it will cause it, too, to persist. Or you can do your searching from the main 1Password window instead of from the browser extension.
