    Understood :+1: :) Thank you for the updates so far @mbesemann :+1:

  • There are performance problems with the mini window when in dark mode. These should be fixed in 1Password version 7.6 -- which was just released.

    @chadseld unfortunately that’s the version I’m already using - I’ll keep experimenting though, I haven’t actually tried switching to light mode

    @chadseld I can definitely reproduce it by turning on my second monitor. If I boot with 1 monitor powered on, things are zippy. As soon as i turn on the 2nd monitor, theres a delay. So odd! I wonder if it's taking an extra moment to decide which monitor to display on.

    The only odd thing about my monitor setup is I have an EDID override to force my main monitor to stay in RGB mode and not go into HDR mode.

    I took a look at the console to see if anything strange is happening between the 2 scenarios (filtered by "1Password"). The only difference I can see is that in the second scenario, there's a delay of a few seconds whereas the first scenario everything happens instantly:

    Scenario 1 (quick): https://hastebin.com/unelibafez.coffeescript
    Scenario 2 (slow): https://hastebin.com/timajuqeto.coffeescript

    NOTE: This is after hitting Cmd+\

  • In the slow scenario, try dragging the mini window around a little. Is the stretching window nub animation slow too? It should be reasonably fluid, even on older hardware.

    @chadseld unfortunately I just moved my PC to where I will be house sitting for a while and I only brought one monitor :p So far 1Password is running smoothly but I'll let you know if I run into any slowness again.

    Sounds good, thank you :+1:

    @chadseld I'm seeing some slowness again but it only seems to be on locking the keychain or hitting the keyboard shortcut when it's locked. I tried dragging the window around, the animation seems smooth.

  • Ok, that's helpful information. The slowness is different from the problem we recently fixed. Locking can be slow if it's done immediately after unlocking, but should be fast if 1Password has been unlocked for a while. Is opening 1Password slower when the frontmost app is a web browser?

    @chadseld On a fresh boot, it's quick. When I launch my browser for the first time (Firefox) it's still quick - then it will eventually slow down at some point during my session. I haven't been able to determine what suddenly makes it slow down, but on one occasion turning on a second monitor seemed to do the trick (that might have been a coincidence).

  • My original theory turned out to be incorrect. If anyone else is seeing this bug, please try to see if you can come up with reproducible steps.

    I'm running:

    1Password 7
    Version 7.6 (70600005)
    1Password Store

    On OS X 10.14.6.

    I'm following this but might be totally unrelated: I have two teams with 6 vaults each. I was finding intermittent big slow downs when searching in my vaults and switching between vaults, but I'm not seeing it now. I just restarted my computer so I'm wondering if it gets worse as time goes on. I'll keep an eye out.

  • Thanks @Aaron Gibralter. Hopefully someone is able to come up with steps that can be followed to cause the problem to occur, as we're a bit unsure where this is coming from at the moment. If you do find specific conditions where this happens, please do let us know.

    I can reproduce this every time after I make a change, since a couple of days ago (at least it's when I started noticing it, I don't frequently make that many changes).

    It doesn't only happen on mini, but with the regular "full window" as well. I just need to open up any login, click "Edit", make a change, then save (I've been changing emails), and after clicking save, it instantly looks as if it all worked, then the UI hangs for about 5-10 seconds (with the spinning wheel), going at 100% CPU for about 20-30 seconds.

    The changes are properly saved.

    Is there anything else I can provide to help you debug this?

    @BrunoBernardino:

    Can you please confirm that the version of the 1Password app that you are running is the correct one? You wrote in the discussion on our beta forum, but the version you mentioned in your post is the stable one, so I'd like to make sure we are on the same page. Thank you!

    Sorry @ag_ana I didn't realize this was on the beta forum. I just looked for a thread on recent slowness. Do you want me to create a new thread on non-beta mac topic?

    @BrunoBernardino:

    No worries at all, thank you for the confirmation! I don't think we need to separate the discussion at the moment.

    I wonder if you could try a quick test: can you please try quitting 1Password completely (right-click on 1Password mini in the menu bar at the top right of your screen > Quit 1Password Completely), and then relaunch 1Password? Do you see the same behavior?

    @ag_ana I guess I should restart my laptop more often. That fixed the issue for now indeed!

    That's great to hear @BrunoBernardino! Thank you for the update :)

    @ag_ana in case it's relevant, every 4-5 changes to items I make, I need to restart 1Password as it quickly gets into that really slow state again. It almost seems related to indexing.

    @BrunoBernardino:

    Thank you for the update. I think we can take a look at the logs and see if we spot anything strange there. The next time this happens, I would like to ask you to generate a diagnostics report from your Mac and email it to us to support+forum@agilebits.com, so we can take a closer look at why this is happening to you.

    After you have sent the email, please feel free to post the ticket number you received so we can locate your message and connect it with this forum discussion.

    Looking forward to your message!

    OK, so this is also driving me nuts. I have to wait several seconds when searching and when filing in forms - it's really bad. Is this issue understood yet?

    thanks.

    Hi same here! After not using it for a while, when I go back to it again, it starts working briefly then I have to wait several seconds.

    I can try to troubleshoot and send diagnostics as well if you need help identifying the problem.

    I believe we have not found yet a set of steps to reproduce this unfortunately. If you have such a list of steps, we would love it if you could share it with us so we can try to replicate this behavior.

    @ag_ana I'm not really sure what the specific steps are to recreate "it's slow".

    Thank you for the update! If you end up finding steps to reproduce this consistently, please let us know.
