"Save As" window from SAP automatically closes

Hi everyone!

I'm having an issue when power automate desktop is sending keys to the "save as" window from SAP, it automatically closes and there is some next steps to be performed in that window.

Can any one help?

I can guarantee that there is no keys such as "alt+F4" associated to the flow.

Many thanks.

    @VES Try using send keys 'TAB' and see if it solves your purpose.

    @Ankesh_49 Thank you for the suggestion.

    Perhaps, let me explain better the situation.

    When I send a "mouse click" to the printer button, it opens the "save as" window and then I "send keys" writing the name of the file I gave to it. Then, I "send key" [alt+D] or a "mouse click" to be in the address field to be able to write the directory location to save it. After one of these actions, the window simply closes and sometimes it just stop being on the top. 
    This issue does not happen every time. So, I am not sure if there is any problem with the config or actions or is this just a bug.

    Are you sure you are sending the keys to the right element/window? Also, can any of those keystrokes perhaps close the Save As window if they're sent to the wrong field? 

    Are you sending the mouse click to an image? Can a similar image also be found in some other window so that the mouse click would be sent there and thus the Save As window would get thrown to the back?
