saveas switches to search option when changing name

[Kent Frazier]

When choosing a print option in various browsers (Vivaldi, Firefox, Chrome) and saving as a pdf file, every time I try to save the file, changing the name in the process, when I type a character in name box, it changes one character, and then switches control to the search box, rather than keeping focus in the name box.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

You filed the issue as related to the `do-release-upgrade` that upgraded you to 22.04 ~9 days before; once you've rebooted & logged into the new system, the ubuntu-release-upgrade tool's job was completed successfully. You also mention two non-Ubuntu products which should have bugs filed elsewhere (vivaldi, chrome). I suggest support. (FYI: Ubuntu Unity support is mostly on telegram (it's an unofficial remix); refer https://ubuntuunity.org/ )

I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the browsers, and assumed
that they were probably accessing libraries in the underlying os. I'll
see if I can determine what's actually happening there. Since the
problem manifests itself in both Firefox and the Chrome-based browsers
and that these browsers did not exhibit this problem until immediately
after the upgrade, that this was probably a release related bug. I also
noted that the problem had been reported some time ago in a previous OS
release (I'll see if I can find the reference to that again).  Although
I usually use Unity, I do not believe it is Unity related, as I also
tried several other windowing versions (e.g. Gnome) and got the same
result. You're definitely correct that it probably is not related to the
upgrade software itself, I should have picked "don't know" as the
related package involved. Thanks for the other hints on other sources to
check for answers.

Should I resubmit the bugs, noting something other than release-upgrade
(e.g. "don't know") or can you re-route as necessary?
Thanks!

It appears that the problem has to do with Unity.   The browser "save as
pdf" option does not exhibit the change of focus when choosing either
the Gnome or Ubuntu desktops.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Brian Bogdan (bbogdan-i)]

This affects me as well, in addition to the original bug report happens when saving and trying to rename images from Right Click Save image as... I am on Ubuntu MATE, so it's not just Unity.

[Anibal Sanchez (anibal-sanchez)]

Same issue here.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Mate distribution, Yaru theme; and I'm finding now this bug.

The issue only happens on Chrome, Chromium and Firefox. Other programs such as (Gimp, Libreoffice, VSCode, Pluma, Thunderbird, etc) don't activate the Search on "Save As".

[Anibal Sanchez (anibal-sanchez)]

One detail, the issue affects all "Save As" actions on the affected programs. Besides saving a PDF, it also affects downloads or saving a page as Html.

[Alex Robinson (alex-launchpad-tranzoa)]

On an Ubuntu 22.04 (newly updated from 18.04) box I got Firefox and Chromium browser back to using the good, system SaveAs dialog box instead of the horrid (((search box focus grabber and almost impossible to change file name from the default))) dialog box by doing this:

`sudo snap install snapd`

This version of snapd, 2.38.3, apparently overrides the apt-installed snapd version 2.38.

That the snap version of snapd wasn't installed ("`snap list`" did not list it) was the glaring difference between the bad box and a laptop that did not have the problem.
