Does hitting the TAB key move focus to what you want, instead? I've seen this kind of thing in older versions (not at the current version to try it right now), and the problem being that the file save list window is not active, nor is the browser window, or any other window. All the windows are inactive, heck knows where the focus has gone. This is particularly obvious when you've chosen a desktop theme that makes the active window clearly obvious with a big colour change. The default theme (using MATE here) has virtually no distinction being the currently active window and any others. That's just CRAP user interface design. Again, just the sort of thing that designers who give scant regard for multi-tasking do. My pet peeve is a when going to save files, the file lister pops up with the filename for the file to be saved highlighted as if it was selected and ready for me to modify, but it's not. I'm forced to click onto the filename and re-highlight it, to be able to change anything. Somewhere along the line user-interface designers have become stupid. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
