I installed eOS 5.1.7 Hera a couple days ago on my 2012 Macbook Pro and I'm having a hard time with using specific apps. The one in particular is Code, a default text editing app that comes with Hera. Whenever I try to save my work, the Save Options window does not appear. Interacting with the Code window does nothing. (This is also happening in other apps like VS Code and Files, but I think the solution would fix those as well.)

However, I did discover that if I press <Return> it will save the file to the default location. And if I press <Esc> it will respond again in the main window.

I'm concluding that the Save options window is not appearing for some reason, but present. I only have the built-in display on my laptop, and I keep to just one desktop view.

Does anyone have a solution or have encountered such a problem?
