Inside which app? Works for me in GG at least in TexEdit via Menu bar, ctrl-space, and fn.

Thanks Tom. In any way i try to switch it doesn’t work. More detailed, i have tried with both the globe and the menu bar. Just to clarify again, this happens only while i am in the process of “save as” command.

How are you switching exactly? Caps lock? Globe/fn? Control Space? Menu Bar?
