Bug: Choosy UI keeps popping up when I click on links?
I'm not sure if this has already been reported or not -- for me on both OS X Catalina (10.15.5 (19F101)) and the previous version, when I click on links intermittently the Choosy UI will pop up and then disappear but remain open, rather than the link opening. It's pretty annoying! Is there something I might have configured wrong?
I’ve looking into this in more detail, and the only application where I can reproduce the problem is 1Password version 6.
In that case, 1Password is explicitly launching Choosy without a URL, waiting a couple of seconds, and then sending the URL. Unfortunately, there’s nothing Choosy can do about this: a request to open Choosy without a URL needs to open the preferences window, otherwise clicking on Choosy in the Finder or the Dock wouldn’t do anything.
Fortunately, 1Password has changed this behaviour in version 7 to send a URL without the additional step. 1Password 7 is supported on macOS 10.13 and later, so if you’re able to I’d recommend upgrading.
I’ve not been able to reproduce this issue with any other application, and since there’s nothing I can do about 1Password I’m going to mark this as “declined”.
If there’s another specific app where this is happening (Thunderbird was mentioned, but I couldn’t reproduce it there) please let me know and I will look into it again.
