Chromium / Google Chrome cannot save files to most folders (GNOME and Xfce)
This is an upstream bug with the package xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
In the meantime, you can try to remove the package xdg-desktop-portal-gnome (if feasible, without any dependency issues or conflicts), or wait for the bug to be fixed upstream.
Without any xdg-desktop-portal-* packages, Chromium and Google Chrome should correctly detect the environment and present either KDialog (KDE) or GTK file picker (GNOME, Xfce) upon saving and downloading files.
An alternative workaround, for now, is to intentionally click on the filename field, and then press Enter to save / download the file.

GNOME 42: Xorg Fractional Scaling
Please install gnome-control-center from the repo after this update and reboot.
pamac install gnome-control-center
gnome-control-center-x11-scaling is currently not available for GNOME 42, because Ubuntu is using version 41 for their current LTS and the patches have not been ported.
You can still use mutter-x11-scaling but will have to enable/disable fractional scaling via gsettings.
To enable fractional scaling after installation run:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['x11-randr-fractional-scaling']"
To disable fractional scaling run:
gsettings reset org.gnome.mutter experimental-features

KeePassXC auto-type does not work
Upgrading KeePassXC from version 2.6.6 to 2.7.0 partially breaks the “auto-type” function. This is fixed upstream in version 2.7.1.
In in the meantime, to have it behave (and work) as it did with version 2.6.6, change the following option:
Tools → Settings → General → Auto-Type → uncheck “Always ask before performing Auto-Type”
Version 2.7.1, which did not make it into this batch of Stable Updates, works correctly, even with the above option enabled.
