I'm using Google Chrome on Ubuntu 22.04.1. When I save a page (or use ctrl-s), the resulting save dialogue is full page. I am unable to use keyboard navigation. E.g., I cannot use esc or enter to close the dialogue. I am able to do an esc/enter via a touch-pad click, so in principle the dialogue works. This has been like this since the upgrade to 22.04.

Have anybody else experienced this?

This question turns out to be a duplicate. For xorg, answers here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2478830&page=2&p=14112414#post14112414 How to make Chrome browser "Save as" dialog to be on focus when opening under Ubuntu 21.04? (not solution for wayland).

This is a bug, affecting several applications, including chrome.

Work around:

sudo apt install devilspie2

Create the file

~/.config/devilspie2/devilspie2.lua

put this in the file:

if ( get_application_name() == 'xdg-desktop-portal-gnome' and get_window_type() == 'WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG' )
then
    focus_window();
end

Then run

> devilspie2

In chrome, you can now use ctrl-s, followed by enter to save pages.
