Hi there,

Thank you for your report!

I was able to reproduce this issue, and I have flagged this to our engineering team.

If you wish to add any further information/screenshots/recordings etc., please feel free to do so at any time - our engineering team will be happy to review these.

Thanks once again!

Good to hear!

I only found another case where it happens but I don't remember it and I guess the fix will apply to it too.

I'm seeing this issue as well but able to reproduce it under more simple conditions. When I opened my extension for the first time in Chrome I saw the fill button while Click Items in autofill suggestion to fill was already selected.

1. Open extension, fill button is visible, click to fill also works/is enabled

2. Untick and re-tick the Click Items in autofill suggestion to fill option

3. Fill button is not visible anymore

4. Close the extension window.

5. Reopen extension window, and fill button is again visible.

I am experiencing the same issue.

I can reproduce what @JoshMart describes - though it indeed doesn't even involve switching tabs in the extension as @D3SOX described initially, but it is enough to just open the extension window:

Seeing the same issue as @JoshMart and @pamperer562580892423 describe here on my computers. Two different computers and multiple Chrome profiles.

I have this same issue, I don't need to switch tabs. I just need to click on the extension icon in chrome's status bar and it shows me the fill buttons and I have the option selected where it should not do that

Can you please stop it with the "I have the same issue" posts? I think we already have enough information here and I would like to be subscribed to receive actual updates.

@D3SOX Especially if you indeed meant "the exact same issue" shouldn't be reported here any longer -- if the exact same issue would be opened as a new "bug report" here, this would be closed as a duplicate.

So, it would be the intended approach, if one indeed experiences a "same issue", to join in on an existing bug report instead of opening a new one (which would get closed as a duplicate).

[D3SOX]

What kind of false dichotomy is this? If you have nothing productive to contribute, don't post anything, no duplicate issue, no unnecessary post. You could use a reaction.

[pamperer562580892423]

Though I also think it would be more productive to post also some details (like exact versions, descriptions of the issue especially when it's (slightly) different, screenshots/videos etc) than just "me too" - even to convey that others experience the same bug, and it's not only a "singular exception", can be helpful for BW to get a more broad picture of the issue.

And this is a public section here - if you are annoyed wirh notifications, then cancel the subscription and have a look from time to time. And chat with BW support the next time - that is more private.
