Description David Guerrero 2023-10-01 19:01:47 UTC
Description:
Hello there, 
I am a telco engineer. Due to all the crimes against my children, I had to leave my professional career and dedicate myself to raise my youngest son. But I need to keep fighting for my children, this is why I started to study law, which makes me use LibreOffice plenty of times. I did not use LibreOffice often as I am doing now, and I prefer using LibreOffice (Ubuntu, 20.04.6 LTS) instead of  Microsoft office.
I noticed when I want to save my work, the window opens right in "search" option, since I am trusting the "save" window is for saving, I lost a couple of times my work, because I did not pay attention to the messages, I use mainly the keyboard shortcuts and usually didn't really pay attention to the warning messages. 
Several times I noticed when I want to name a new file, the activate “menu” or “active icons” change or goes directly to “search” a new file. Of course its not found, but I wanted to name it, instead of searching for it. Its becoming annoying verifying changing the “active menu icon” from "search" to "name".
This just happened a bit ago. Two upgrades before I did not have this “issue”. I guess its too easy to solve, being engineer, programming plenty of equipment, I deduce its just an initial definition which for some reason was changed, or forgotten.
I tried to repeat the event so I could properly describe more specific circumstances how this happens. It is randomly, I do not see a specif pattern why sometimes, the (magnifier) search icon is active instead  of the “name” when I want to name a new file.
I read this is a bug which has been around some time.
Regards


Steps to Reproduce:
1.just I need to double check what menu is active, copy and paste to the proper menu.

Actual Results:
it might lead to lose files. I just I need to double check what menu is active, copy and paste to the proper menu.

Expected Results:
I hope I could have time to help the community to solve this issue, I consider myself a good programmer to solve these type of issues, and I understand it takes time to locate the origing of this issue.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I read the issue has been around some time. I just started having it 2 upgrades before.

Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode

If it doesn't, please test with a newer version, 7.6.2 now, with a lot of resolved bugs.

Also, please paste here the information on Menu/Help/About LibreOffice (There is an icon to copy)

SO it is not totally related to your programming, Perhaps you could prevent this issue since you call the "OS saving window", I could see the activation went from the "Saving" to "search"(magnifier) icon using Microsoft Visual code, when I started to type a new name, which is "NOT" in the directory where I want to save a new file.

The answer must be done in bugzilla not by email.
