Comment 3 for bug 501282

Sorry for the noise, but I found a workaround of sorts. If you disable the windows themeing (aka uxtheme, aka Luna, etc) then the save dialog is no longer invisible, although it does look very odd. There is roughly 400 pixels of empty vertical space (grey background) between the "Save as type" and the "Title" label and textbox.
