Thank you very much for your bug report!


Test results
------------

This issue is not limited to Writer, but shared by all LibreOffice components
(therefore set Component to “UI”).

REPRODUCIBLE on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel) with
* LibreOffice 3.3.0
* LibreOffice 3.5.7.1
* LibreOffice 3.6.2.2
* AOO 3.4.0

So this is an old issue, inherited from OOo (therefore set Version to oldest
available version, as usual here).


Why is this minor glitch of some importance?
--------------------------------------------

Many (long-time) Mac OS X users are used to the convention that Command-A works
even in the edit field of the file save as dialog which contains the intented
file name, so they are irritated by this behaviour (cf. Ambrose Li’s comment
mentioning an “initial shock”).

It is indeed strange that LibreOffice, using the generic Mac OS X file save
dialog, does not support the Command-A shortcut in the edit field containing
the intented file name, while all other Mac OS X applications which I have
tested (Apple’s TextEdit, BBEdit, XPress, ... but also some not-so-native
applications like Firefox and Thunderbird) support the shortcut here.

The general problem could be that, while the file save dialog window is open
and has got the focus, the whole menu bar is still enabled like when we are
editing a document. In most applications, nearly all menu items are greyed out
(disabled) when a dialog window is open, but not in LibreOffice (cf. bug
31915).
