I can reproduce the issue. I also found a workaround.
- When you click off the “Permission denied” message, it does indeed get buried behind the window you click on. It does not make a distinct window that you can Alt+Tab to for some confusing reason.
- Furthermore, it seems that because the dialog freezes the other dialogs, you can’t even move them anymore, which is frustrating.
- But, you actually can move them. If you press and hold Alt and then attempt to drag the window, it works (presumably because this tells the Wayland compositor to move the window rather than trying to interact with the window before moving it?).
- This allows you to uncover the hidden “permission denied” window, at which point you can click “OK” and the save window unfreezes.
I guess this probably counts as a bug in Tor Browser. Not sure if it even can be fixed, but I’ll report it upstream.
