Hello folks. Facing this issue as well, thank you very much for jumping on it so quickly.
The workaround I found is to, instead of navigating to the inside of the folder, just navigate to one level above, then click on the directory, click on Save (this will make you enter the directory), and then click on Save again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk4 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969622 Title: save file dialog doesn't allow saving to a directory without files Status in GTK+: Unknown Status in gtk4 package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in gtk4 source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ------ Ubuntu uses xdg-desktop-portal-gnome for the save dialog for snaps (like Firefox or Chromium). xdg-desktop-portal-gnome in Ubuntu 22.04 uses gtk4 This issue also affects gnome-text-editor which uses gtk4 directly. Attempting to save a file to an empty folder won't work in many cases because the Save button is insensitive (unable to be clicked). Test Case --------- View this page with the Firefox or Chromium snaps. Press Ctrl+S to try to save this page. Navigate to a folder without any files in it. (It can have other folders in it.) The Save button should stay lit up. Save the file. Note that I wasn't able to reproduce the bug for bookmarked folders in the left sidebar so just navigate using the main view area. What Could Go Wrong -------------------- This is a one-line bug fix from the stable gtk-4-6 branch targeted to directly fix this issue. Other Notes ----------- I do not believe we need to respin the Ubuntu 22.04 ISOs for this issue. I do request a 0-day SRU since this is a small high impact fix that affects the usability of the Firefox snap.
