I have noticed that dialog boxes which open up for File Open or File Save As functionality in various applications do not respond to mouse clicks. I can close the dialog box by pressing on the "escape" key and can run default (highlighted) action by pressing the "enter" key. However, mouse clicks do not work. Has anyone faced this issue and is there a solution? I am using 2018 MacBook Pro 13 inch with Retina display.
I've found 2 ways to (sometimes) get around the problem.
Sometimes multiple resizes / minimises are required if many ops are needed.
Cheers
Thanks much, resizing the dialog fixes it for me. You're right about System Preferences being a bigger issue.
This was a very helpful reply. I had never thought to resize the window, but it worked like a charm, and helped me overcome a very frustrating and confusing experience.
Thank you so much.
Having this problem as well, the window 'save , or save as' just aren't responding to the clicks.
resize the window 'fixes' it....
"...occasionally frenzied and repeated clicking finally works."
Following AlEvans47's kooky advice helped me.
Thanks @jondavidschober. I tried killall Finder and didn't solve the issue. killall Dock solved my issue. but not sure whether i need to run both or killall Dock only
I have noticed that moving the box a bit (eg on the lower right quadrant) allows me to click on it. I am running 12.4 and this still happens to me constantly.
Wow. That is such an interesting workaround, but that did the trick for me. Thanks! Been dealing with this for almost a year now... Wish I had found this earlier.
I rebooted in safe mode.
and the update OS X and after installation everything was fine again
I had the same issue, in my case it was caused by AccessMenuBar app, simply closing this app helps.
We are running 12.6 here and I just saw someone have the issue. I restarted her and all is good right now.
Resize the box and it suddenly will be clickable again.
Thank you very much. This issue has been driving me nuts for weeks, but I'm glad there is finally a workaround.
