Cannot copy/paste filename in Save dialog

Update: I believe I've solved the issue by going to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and then toggling "Full Keyboard Access" - cmd+v now works in a save dialog box

Disable “Block Paste in Secure Fields” (NEW Tahoe Privacy Setting)

Go to:

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Advanced → Block Paste in Sensitive Fields → OFF

Then quit all browsers and try again.

For many affected users, this fixes it immediately.

Ramifications of doing this are apparently deep. TY Apple for releasing a feature no one asked for or needed which fundamentally changes workflows for millions of users. See the implications of allowing full keyboard access her: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256139594?sortBy=rank

I was having the same problem. After some trial and error, it seems that it won't allow me to paste into the Save As field if it has a period (.) anywhere in the name. I have to edit the file name after saving in order to use a period.

Last update I'll waste my time with: If you turn on Full Keyboard Access it will absolutely destroy your current workflows if you use any quick keys to navigate. You can put it in "Pass through mode" however with control+option+command+P which will still allow you to use cmd+V, etc. to solve the initial problem of brought up in this thread.

What an absolute piece of trash Tahoe is....

I've come across a similar issue in Firefox on MacOS.

It happens if Firefox isn't in focus (i.e. some other application, maybe Finder is the front–most application) and you context–click on an image in Firefox and select "Save image as…". This doesn't bring Firefox to the front, the save dialogue will open behind the focused application's window.

Even if the save dialog is brought to the front, you can't paste in a file name, though you can type in or select a file in the dialog to copy the name to the filename field. :-)

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Advanced → Block Paste in Sensitive Fields → OFF

Is not in the Setting in Tahoe 26.4.1. See my screenshots.

Have a similar issue when trying to create a new folder when doing a Safari download to a specific folder.

Once the new folder dialog shows up the clipboard-based text will not be pasted into the focused edit field. I also hear a 'blorp' sound...

I also have this problem. It's completely messed with my work flow. What the ****? Seems completely insane. My old MacBook Pro didn't have half the drama I have with this brand new machine.

Has anyone come to any solid conclusions as to how to fix this or is it purely a bug that's unfixable on the user end?

I have the same issue since several updates.
