I agree, this is a frustrating "feature." I tend to work around this by pressing Cmd-` (back-tick) to cycle through the X11 windows (this works for other applications as well), or by running Coot from within the directory containing the PDB file and using Ctrl-S to save with auto-incremented (e.g. -coot-0.pdb) filenames without having to open the Save dialog.

Installation from the 'Scott'-package was no problem at all it runs very smoothly. However, whenever I want to save the coordinates the saving dialog open -behind- the main window. To be more precise: the coordinate molecule selector opens in front of it but the -file name selector- opens behind the main window. This is over the time a bit frustrating when you have to minimize/move the main window every time you want to save your structure. Does it happen to others as well, or is this specific to my system? If its possible, how could it be changed to open in front of the main window? Best regards Eike
