Description: Navigating for instance to the "Documents" folder will lose focus of the file name input field, while displaying it as if it still in focus. I have observed new users frustrated that their keyboard input is ignored. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click save 2. Click a folder in the save dialog 3. Enter file name Actual Results: See that input goes to a search instead Expected Results: File name is entered Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Blank installations used to reproduce. Reproduced on multiple Ubuntu 20.04 installations.

You are talking about native GTK3 dialogs, so this is not a LibreOffice issue.
Thanks for point that out Buovjaga, I now found it reported upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/326 As with many other programs that try to gain new users on GTK-based desktops, this is really a UI disaster for new users. Hoping it gains more attention. The bug is reported in many flavors over the past decade, but with the latest Gnome “type to search”, it got a lot worse.
