Hello, I have used Elements since V3 (and numerous other Photoshop programs since early '90s). I just moved from Elements 2018 to 2022 and am stumped by the Save As dialog box behavior. Hopefully I can describe this issue I am seeing:
I am running on macOS 12 Monterey (which has it's own baggage) and have never used Elements Organizer and attempt to disable all connections to it as I have a decades old file organization
Lets assume for example that I want to save in format Photoshop
Save As: <provide a filename>
Then I alter the image and want to save another version of it
Problem occurs with the Save As: dialog box
I used to simply highlight .<extension> and then overtype it and let Elements add the .psd suffix during the save.
This is not currently working. If I select and overtype the '.' and/or the '.<extension> Elements lets you type 1 character then immediately appends the extension, creating gibberish
- Save As: Untitled-1.psd
- select '.psd' and attempt to enter '_Ver2' and you will get 'Untitled-1_.psdVers2'
If that description made sense, is there a way to defeat this behavior? I don't remember this happening in any Elements 2018 or older or CS6.
thanks for any insights
Have you updated to Monterey 12.1, which i believe has a fix for the issue you describe.

Thank you Jeff for the quick reply! I'm not an early adopter but upgraded to 12.1 this morning, and that has resolved my issue. Imagine a release correcting something... Time will tell what it broke.
But thank you again, that has been bugging me since Christmas!
