I had this problem when I installed python from source code and did
not use the --enable-framework flag at the ./configure stage
(learned I should have it from some document - but can't remember if
it was in matplotlib doc, on the internet, in a python doc etc).
I am using the enthought distribution, I would hope that it was done
right but maybe not.
I am not sure, I am unfamiliar with the enthought distribution.
As a possible temporary "fix", when I had this problem, I was able to
copy and paste the name of a file into the OSX save box from another
window/terminal etc, and so could still make new names for the files.

Hi Vincent,

I then went back and recompiled python with this flag (at
configure), but still had some warnings.
So then I built python from the a dmg file from the python website,
and everything works great (I don't think I even needed to rebuild
matplot lib).
The enable-framework option is what you need for proper GUI backend
support (here I don't really know what I am talking about, but I
think I remember the key jargon) and the OSX save box is part of
this GUI interface.
Maybe this is what is causing your problem also.

I am not able to name plots when saving them from the plot menu in
OSX. When I click the save menu item I get the nice OSX save dialog
box but I am not able to type in the text field. I can select an
existing file which then fills the text field with that name but I
am still not able to change the name. At this point I can save the
file and it does not overwrite the file as long as it is not a png
which is the file type the plot gets saved as.
And the magic fix is ?????? :)
