A simple text file for you to download. The contents are one word: ‘test’

A very simple PDF file for testing, courtesy of W3C. No SPACE characters in the PDF filename:

same error

@CerealLover or @JimB1

Is there some keyboard workaround for the issue reported by @remy64 ?

Not sure. What distro is that @remy64 , Linux Mint? Which version?

Also, how did you install Brave, did you use the OS package (which I believe is from the Snap store) or did you use the instructions at brave.com/linux?

6

I have manjaro with cinnamon.
All my software is installed from the official repository.
I don’t use snap

Also, i have the same error, on me second laptop with the same config.
And i have this only with brave

Where is that exactly?

So you did not use these instructions? https://brave.com/linux/

If not, then I recommend you start by trying an installation using the instructions for Arch and see if the behavior changes.

So that the same as

pacman -S brave-browser

Hi

Does the issue persist in a new private window or a new profile?

I would strongly suggest checking (with Manjaro community forums, and the package maintainer) and see if others with your setup (Manjaro + Cinnamon) have the same issue.

There’s so much variance in the Linux space, that would be your next best step, as it doesn’t appear to be an extremely ‘common’ issue at least across other OSes or even other Linux distros, as far as we’re aware up til this point.

Let us know what you find out and we can go from there.

This is not a brave error.
This can be close

For posterity:
I side-steped the issue by uninstalling xdg-desktop-portal. More details here:

Credit to remy64’s posts and subsequent comments on the Manjaro forum for getting me to a work-around. (ref. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/brave-error-window-on-download/116719)
