Bug Description
When I use Bitwarden extension by clicking on the icon, the popup immediately hides. See [1], although further digging suggest the bug was/in iBus, see [2] and [3]. Although, the source (or code path) originates from Gnome-Shell, see [4] and [5]. There is a propose fixed but it hasn't been merged. I'm reporting the issue here, so it can at least be tracked and I can get notified when it arrives in Ubuntu.
Note: This issue affects all extensions that uses 'password field', see [6].

The patch to resolve this bug was just accepted to upstream gnome-shell master: see https - gitlab.gnome dot org/GNOME/ gnome-shell/ merge_requests/ 140 (For some reason launchpad is not letting me submit a comment with a URL).
Might it be possible to back-port this patch to GNOME Shell 3.28 for Bionic?
