Hi, for the past several versions of MacOS (including the current one) I have an issue with the Save As menu item in EVERY app so it is a MacOS issue. The Save As screen stretches to it's maximum and there is no way to do anything unless you press Esc to get out of it, then it places whatever app off the screen to the left. How can this be corrected.


See my screen shot when you "Show All Windows.

Any help would be appreciated.

There are sure some prefs that can be deleted, or you can try to hold down the shift key and resize it from the top or bottom border.
 
Try this.

Open System Settings > Accessibility > Zoom. Turn on "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys". I use the control key. Then hold down the control key and use the scroll gesture to zoom in on one side of that dialog. When it's big enough, try to grab it with your cursor and drag to shrink it. You might need to recenter and drag several times but you should be able to get the width back to normal.
