making webarchives on Safari 15.2 on Catalina 10.15.7

With Safari 15.2 on Catalina 10.15.7... When trying to save a website (Save as... from the File drop down menu) it pulls up the mini page/window to direct where to save it (as normal), but then will not allow me to click on anything within it, or on Safari. I can click on my dashboard to access anything else, but am locked into that save page on Safari. I can manipulate the save page with the keyboard, but not a mouse/trackpad. Is there a way to fix this?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Also look here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253469663?answerId=256526422022#256526422022 and I do have the same problem. Escape works, but still not able to save. There is clearly a connection between the Safari 15.2 update and Catalina, because it occurs with me on 2 different iMacs and only since the update to Safari 15.2. I have to live with it now until I eventually update to Monterey. Until then, I help myself now with save as PDF.

Hit the same locking problem. Pressing the ESC key backed out of this situation. Then tried saving the .webarchive again and was successful on the 2nd attempt.
