There is a weird bug in Safari that breaks the
Save dialog box whenever a web page is saved as a
web archive. I've discovered it accidentally recently, here's how to reproduce it.
First, from the
File menu select
Save As... to save a web page.
Save the website in the
Web Archive format.
After this try to save something else from a web page, like an image.
The
Save dialog will now be broken. It will be stuck in saving as a
Web Archive, even though an image is being saved.
Clicking
Save results in an error -
The document "xxxx.png" could not be exported as "xxxx.png.webarchive".
Closing the Safari window seems to reset this broken behaviour and the
Save dialog goes back to normal operation.
