Problem with password generator - Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums

I’m 99% of the time doing this from the window where I’m creating a new item, but I just tested the generator on its own and the same thing happens.

Copying generated passwords not working properly - Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums
January 14, 2023 - So, back story: I am a LastPass refugee. I switched to Bitwarden back in August of last year, right around the time LastPass had one of their security breaches. Then I found out that they had another breach that exposed all their customers’ vaults. Since the revelations, I’ve been changing the passwords on all accounts I have.

It's broken for me on Chrome as well. I'm not going to reinstall it. I'll wait if they fix it with a patch. This will be a great test whether I should migrate my wife over. Releasing an update like this and then not fixing it instantly is unacceptable.
