Public bug reported: Issue: File name field not in focus when saving a file in Nautilus
I've noticed this behavior in the last few major LTS releases of Ubuntu, as well as in other versions. When saving a file (Ctrl + S), the save dialog appears with the proposed filename highlighted. However, attempting to type immediately does not change the filename because the input field is not in focus. Workarounds include clicking the "Save" button with the mouse or using Ctrl + Tab to switch away from the application and then back again, at which point the filename field becomes active and allows editing. Expected behavior: The filename input field should be automatically focused when the save dialog opens, allowing immediate renaming. happens on all versions of nautilus so far as well as when using other applications and choosing to save. (running on multiple servers and devices). Here's an example.. If you are in a browser (chrome, firefox, etc) and open an image in a separate tab, then hit ctrl s to save, and start trying to rename the file. I may be wrong about this functionality being a part of nautilus, but it's not exclusive to any one program trying to save.
