This does seem to be a bug in the GTK4 file chooser, not the portal itself:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4851 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/908661fee6a8275b40ef27f813543ef9f7a5aff5 ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues #4851 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4851 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-desktop-portal-gtk in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1968698 Title: Desktop portal's file chooser displays disabled 'Save' button after switching directory Status in xdg-desktop-portal-gtk package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: ## System Ubuntu 22.04 xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.14.0-1build1 ## How to reproduce 1. Open confined app, snap or flatpak, e.g. Firefox 2. Open file chooser, e.g. by pressing Ctrl + S 3. In the opened file chooser: Enter a subdirectory by clicking on it in the central file list widget 4. Observe the 'Save' button turning to a disabled state (see the attached screenshot) ## How to work around You can work around the issue by editing the file name in the text input at the top of the window. E.g. by adding and then removing a single character. ## Expected results No such problem should occur. There's probably some state management issue going on. Ubuntu 21.10 did not show such behavior for me. ## Misc observations A flatpak app showed the same problem.
