Browser extension interferes with window focus during NextCloud's autosave process

As the title says, I’ve determined the issue might be caused by the browser extension. When activated (I’ve tested on both FireFox and Brave), NextCloud Deck app will lose window focus when autosave occurs. The impact is that typing comments/details of cards is interrupted, and the user has to click into the form after each autosave which is problematic.

Can someone suggest/assist with the next troubleshooting steps? I am not seeing any obvious errors in the browser that are directly related to this issue.

I would suggest filing a bug report (“New Issue”) on GitHub.

As a potential work-around, you could try to disable the browser extension features that are most disruptive to the HTML DOM:

  • Settings > Autofill: Disable “Show autofill suggestions on form fields”.
  • Settings > Autofill: Disable “Autofill on page load”.
  • Settings > Notifications: Disable “Ask to save and use passkeys”.
  • Settings > Notifications: Disable “Ask to add login”.
  • Settings > Notifications: Disable “Ask to update existing login”.

If disabling these options fix your issue, then you can re-enable the ones you had previously enabled one by one, to see which one is the culprit.

Thank you for the suggestions. Please confirm that I should be looking for those settings in my browser (Brave)? I’ve searched for various forms of the settings you listed without any luck.

The only germane setting I found was autofill of addresses; I’ve turned that off and now I’m testing.

I’ll work on a bug report.

No, these are settings in the Bitwarden browser extension. Open the browser extension window, then click the :gear: Settings button in the lower right corner:

Form there, open the categories Autofill and Notifications, and make the configuration changes that I’ve suggested above:

Boy I feel like a dolt for missing that option there. I was looking in the details :slight_smile:
The two for Autofill were already off. I disabled the three for Notifications, and it might have made a difference. Still need to experiment more.

I appreciate you, and your help. I’ll update the bug report if I can nail down with confidence that one or more of the options are offending.
