P: File name and extension highlight when saving on macOS 10.15 Catalina

Contrary to what's been suggested here, the problem absolutely still persists as recently as Monterey 12.4 on Photoshop 23.3.2 (Mac Studio M1 Max).

Hey gang, if you are on the latest mac OS and Photoshop your problems are fixed but Adobe isn't going to make any fixes for Mojave anymore, not sure if the issues still persist on on Big Sur or Catalina but that is as far back as they will support. 

same here and I am going crazy, did you find a way to fix it? 
I am on Mac Majove and thinking on updating to this new one.. forget the name. 

Thanks, Sabrina 

It's very strange (and a silly use of a Monday when I should be writing code)... but I've realized it is not only Adobe programs having these problems. Both the tab and the file extension glitches are happening in any native Apple "Save As..." dialog in 12.0.1 where the filename is not automatically highlighted. This includes Firefox and Thunderbird. I've opened a bug report with Apple here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253415265?login=true&page=1

Do you also have this problem in Firefox?

But Josh, don't you get the idea too that it's just us two having this time consuming (bug?) issue? Why isn't any else going crazy?

Yes. Nothing is highlighted. And sometimes tab doesn't even work. About half the time, seemingly at random. Also if you do highlight the whole filename and start typing, it inserts ".psd" after the first character you type. If you then start to delete the filename extension, you get ".ps.psd" because it stupidly appends ".psd" after any keystroke if it is missing (rather than appending it when writing the file). 

These are rookie coding errors and it's offensive to pay $50/mo for software that used to work and is now broken on such a simple, basic level through sheer laziness.

Josh, thanks.

My actual result (Nov. 29, 2021): Photoshop > Save as > Title.psd <<nothing is highlighted anymore, not the name, nor the extension>>  

(Show The Filename extensions are 'on'.)

In Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1,

Photoshop 2022 and Illustrator 2022 (and probably all CC software).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Turn on Finder > Preferences > Show all filename extensions

2. Try to Save As... from Photoshop. Start typing a filename to replace "Untitled.psd".

Expected result: Caret and/or highlight sits to the left of the file extension ".psd".

Actual result: After the first character is typed, for example "a", the filename completes as "a.psd" and puts the caret at the end of the file extension.

Additional bug:

Back up and remove ".psd" so the filename reads "a". Then type ".psd" manually and hit backspace. The name becomes "a.ps.psd".

same here, running Big Sur and Photoshop 23.0.2

Hey @Hans Bos Amsterdam doesn't appear to be just Monterey. If you are talking about the Save As... screen, on both my Macs (one on Monterey, one on Big Sur) the Save As... file name field is not highlighted on either computer when running the new 2022 Photoshop 23.0.1.

However, with 2021 veresion (which mine are on 22.5.1 and not the .3 latest) my Big Sur Mac still has file name highlighted on Save As but Montery Mac will not highlight the file name. I could be wrong but I swear for a split second I see it highlight as the window pops up. 

Hopefully 2022 version can get an update to bring the highlighting back to all operating systems and its not an Apple issue. For what it is worth, on Save for Web across the board the file name is highlighted so it is possible.
