"Quick Access" window can't fill logins in browser now?
With 1Password 7, when I had a website's login screen active in my browser, I could trigger 1Password Mini, which would detect that website and could fill my login information. Now with 1Password 8, ...

Thanks for chiming in, MindFad. You gave a very good description of one of the problems with "Fill in Browser".
I have found another shortcoming with the new system (or perhaps I'm just not using it right). What do I do when I want to log into a website using a login that is contained in a collection other than my current one? In the past, I could trigger 1Password Mini, hit the keyboard shortcut (CMD-2) to switch to the relevant collection (or whatever they were called in 1Password 7), find that login, and press return to fill it. But now, I hit my "Fill in Browser" shortcut, and am shown the matching logins in my current collection, which are not the ones I want to use. I hit CMD-2, and nothing happens. There seems to be no way to switch collections via the popup under the login fields, and thus no way to find the login I want to use.
Next, I use my mouse to click 1Password in Safari's toolbar. (Already I'm unhappy -- I did not have to use my mouse in the old workflow -- is there no way to trigger this window using the keyboard?) I hit CMD-2 to try to switch collections, but again nothing happens. I then click the icon in the upper right of the window that opens to switch collections. (Again, I wonder why I have to use my mouse to do this.) I get confused because I do not see the same collections I set up in 1Password (see this forum post). Instead there's only my account name, and something called "All Accounts". Eventually I figure out that I need to select my account name (NOT "All Accounts") in order to see all possible logins. And finally I've found the one I'm looking for. It is there in the list among the other logins I did not want to use earlier. Because I was never able to switch to the collection I wanted, I have to mouse or arrow down past these other logins to select the one I want.
The previous reliable three-keystroke process was much easier.
