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

Hello. After last updates (Osx Catalina and CC 2020), when the save window appear, the focus, highlite, is on all the file name and extension instead only the filename. I suspect the issue is related to Catalina, but I ask if anyone has noticed the same thing. My working speed is affected and I would like to know if anyone has a solution to ensure that only the file name is highlighted (in save and export).
Thank you

I'm sorry, but in my job "save for web" is used 50 times for every "save as".

Thank you anyway

If you don't type the extension, inDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop will add the extension automatically. ONLY in the "save for web" dialog you have to type it manually.

Can confirm this bug persists in version 22.1.1

In the past, when I want to SAVE AS a file, or SAVE FOR WEB, a window would open with the current name of the file highlighted in blue. BUT in the past, the extension of the file was NOT highlighted in blue. Which meant I could change the name of the file, but the extension would stay the same. NOW when I open that window, the entire name of the file, AND the extension is highlighted, which means that I have to type in the extension again, when in the past, it would just auto fill into the new saved name.

At first I assumed it was a change in Default Folder, which is a great app I use, but they just confirmed that it's Adobe's issue, and they have had other complaints about it.

Any opinions or should we consider this either a bug, or a (negative) change in behavior in Photoshop.

I, too, am experiencing this with Photoshop 22.1.0 and MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. I did stumble upon a couple of potential workarounds for the "Save As..." and file name and extension being highlighted.

1. After clicking "Save As...," in the "Format:" dropdown menu, if you click off your default format onto another, then, back to your desired format, it will revert to only the title highlighted, without the extension (see screenshot, taken before clicking and all still highlighted).

2. With everything highlighted, hold down the SHIFT key and place your cursor at the end of the file name, before the period in ".psd," and click. That deselects the extension and leaves the file name highlighted.

OR, from only the keyboard -- with title and extension highlighted, 1) hold down the SHIFT key and keep it held; 2) click your RIGHT ARROW key once; 3) click your LEFT ARROW key four times; each left arrow click deselects a character in your extension. Ridiculous, I know, but, it's quicker to do than explain.

It's still a few more clicks and less efficient than it used to be, but, it might save a couple of hairs from being pulled.

In Photoshop 2021, when you hit Save As, the save dialog highlights the filename but not the extension so you can type over the filename. But when you hit Save For Web, the save dialog highlights the entire filename, including the extension, so you have to either adjust the selection or retype the extension.
