1P not remembering layout/orientation/window size between invocations.

For the last week or two, the Nightly versions (which for some reason I can't get out of) have lost their memory when it comes to the application startup size (dimensions of window). Using: 1Pa...

Hi,

the good news is that the last BETA (1Password for Mac 8.10.12 (81012010)) seems to solve the window-layout/orientation/size problem for standard configurations. For example, on my iMac24 the Main 1P.app window recalled its position after updating the App and also after re-boot (13.5). Also ob my MBP16 (M1) in standard use this is the case.

However:
I am using the MBP16 also with an external monitor. In the office, it is connected to an DELL monitor that includes an USB-C hub. The MBP is charged, VIDEO-connected and USB-B-keyboard-connected via a single USB-C interface. The lid of the MBP is (almost) always closed. The DELL is sometimes for a short time a 2nd monitor, e.g. when I connect the USB-C cable before the lid is closed. Or when MS Teams has trouble with the additional Logitech camera connected to the DELL USB-C-Hub.

  • I did a re-boot of the MBP (macOS 13.5) with the DELL monitor/USB-Hub attached. After that, the 1P main window opened in its default (small) size and at the default position.
  • I repositioned the window, and did another re-boot of the MBP alone (not attached to DELL) with open lid. This time, the 1P main window position stayed as enlarged/repositioned before.

Usually, I avoid a re-boot with DELL monitor/USB-Hub attached, because this causes the connection to devices attached to the USB-Hub to be lost. This includes the USB-B keyboard and also the Logitech camera.

Lets hope for a solution to recall 1P window position also for "complex" settings.
