Updated the title because I think I figured out the key (and it looks like others have too!).
If you navigate through the file system, the "name" box at the top becomes greyed out, and when hit "save" nothing happens. If you click into the name box again to make it active, it saves as expected. If you click into one of the shortcut folders on the left (Downloads, Home) it can save because the filename box remains active. However, clicking any other folder the name box is inactive and saving just doesn't happen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971516 Title: File save/download from all browsers fails to save when file name box is not active.
