On Loki I have the same problem with several applications which involve a file dialogue. When I select a file there is no way to 'Save', as there is no button to click, [Enter] doesn't work and (double-)left-click doesn't work. Could you look at the picture below and tell me whether there is a button missing from this standard file dialogue? Perhaps a header bar is missing that should have Save, Cancel and Search buttons.

Your file dialog looks not at all like the elementary theme but more like Adwaita or something. This question is probably a duplicate of elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/1638/… It seems to me that problem can be caused by using Gnome Tweaks on elementary OS.– Michael KanisDec 19 '18 at 8:02

'Pantheon-files' had no header bar so no 'Cancel', 'Save' or 'Search' buttons! I removed 'pantheon-files' and installed 'Nautilus' which fixed it. I have since installed Juno - which had the same problem and the same solution.

Something you did is causing that. Pantheon-files doesn't look like that by default. There must be some weird config file in your /home directory causing that. If you create a new user it may go back to normal.– Maccer ♦Oct 19 '18 at 22:03

Sounds likely, but if I created a new user I would obviously want to copy all my files in - bringing the guilty file with them. Perhaps someone who knows something about pantheon-files would let me know what configuration files it uses so I can avoid overwriting them. Oct 20 '18 at 19:36
