From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does anyone know how to fix that one bug in cinnamon where the file "save as" window doesn't let you rename files and keeps redirecting your keyboard input to the search bar? (lemmy.ml)

All desktop managers have pros and cons. Cinnamon's biggest issue for me is the "save as" window. To get to it, go somewhere such as a web browser, right click on something and do "save as". Now try to name that file anything other than what was already in the filename textbox. It won't let you. You click on the box to position your cursor, type 1 character and it immediately forces your context focus into the search bar for searching for files in the directory. Clicking the box again, type 1 character and it forces your context focus and cursor into the stupid useless fucking search bar again. I can only rename files by bringing up a text editor, typing what I want and then pasting it into the save as name box.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
