What application window is this screenshot from?

And what are you trying to accomplish with that window open?


It appears the app can open .pdf files but isn't happy with Word documents.

A graphics app like Preview would normally behave like this.

For a word processing app such as Pages or MS Word this would be unusual behavior in the "Open file" window.


A little bit more info would be helpful to know so we can best assist.

Hi


mainly word documents and some photos and some pdf files that get greyed out shaded from time to time. So I was trying to upload one of the documents and it wasn't allowing me because it was shaded out. Today I had another look now they are working but I know its going to happen again its somewhere in settings because we fixed it last time but I just don't know where what setting
