Save as: filename not auto highlighting

When performing a ’save’ or ’save as’, the filename window no longer auto highlights. I’m used to hitting save or save as and immediately start typing the filename without looking up. Now though, I start typing the filename then notice it's not highlighted, so I either have to move the cursor to the filename box or hit the tab key 3 times to highlight the file name. Any suggestions?

Photoshop version 23.1

Make sure Monterey is updated to 12.1

I am having the same issue with Adobe Acrobat immediately following update to Windows 11.  This has been a hindrence on workflow.  When the Save As window appears, nothing is highlighted.  I cannot tab to choose an option.  Tab only seems to still be activated within the document behind the Save As window.  My only solution is to choose an option with the mouse.

I cannot replicate this, when using Save As from Acrobat, it automatically highlights the filename on Windows 11. Below are screenshots with version numbers.
