Opening Safari Changes Applications and Switches to 1Password
Opening Safari doesn't remain very long on Safari before it switches applications to 1Password. While in Safari I begin to type the URL/URI of the web address I want to go to, but I don't get beyond the first four characters before I'm automatically in 1Password and the typing all continues there in a 1Password search while leaving the URL bar in Safari incomplete. The actions to reproduce this are to have 1Password open and Safari is not open, to then open Safari from the desktop (while it's not yet open) and then use cmd+L to take me to the URL bar and I begin typing. After about four characters I'm no longer in Safari where I started typing, but rather I'm in 1Password and the typing resumes there. Whatever happens in the background, does it need to change applications away from the Safari browser that I had just intentionally opened?
1Password Version: 8.10.58
Extension Version: 8.10.56.28
OS Version: 15.1.1
Browser: 18.1.1
Thank you 1P_Dave. I now have MacOS 15.2 and restarted the computer. The last apps left open before restarting were Mail, Messages, Signal, and 1Password. Shortly after opening Safari the focus changed to the 1Password app. If it matters, I generally do have 1Password already unlocked before I open Safari, and 1Password was already unlocked this time as well.
Opening Safari still switches from Safari to 1Password. 1P_Dave or others, if you have ideas I welcome them.

Hello chazzunokuthunuchtec! 👋
I'm sorry that you're seeing 1Password being focused when you're trying to type into Safari. I see that you're running an slightly older version of macOS, as a start can you update to macOS 15.2:
If you still see the issue after updating and restarting your Mac then can you tell me if you use Safari or any other apps in fullscreen mode?
