Yeah, haven't had problems with Firefox's manager either.

Why is it a requirement to have two separate views? Why not just do the check when the user leaves the username textbox. I don't see the reason for the other page to be displayed separately.
1Password has gotten confused a few times for me. (No way I'd ever use Chrome's. Or Apple's, for that matter.) Although now that I think about it, I think not in a while.
Still annoys me - a classic example of offloading the costs of technical decisions on the user, even if those costs are "just" mental energy and a page load. At the very least, if you feel you need to do this, make the login pages very, very lightweight. One I log in to daily has huge background images that are utterly, stupidly useless, wasteful, annoying and for some reason uncacheable.
Password managers have already figured out how to support this transparently, so it's a non-issue anymore... Including even Chrome's built in manager, which is not exactly cutting edge. If yours can't cope then it's a sign that your software isn't being actively maintained very well.
