snippet auto-expand stops working

[terptime88]

The auto-expansion of snippets seems to stop working until I reboot. This started recently, perhaps after latest macOS update(?). Reloading Alfred does not correct the issue. macOS 10.13.5. Alfred v3.5.1 [883]

 

Ideas?

@terptime88 When snippets stop expanding, could you take a look at the Snippets preferences to see whether you see a Secure Input error message?

 

https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/snippets/#secureinput

 

The error message will indicate which app is hanging on to secure input, or at least whether that's the issue. In most cases, it's been down to a browser plugin (e.g. LastPass) which doesn't release secure input, or macOS getting itself confused. Restarting or logging out will clear the secure input.
