Save screen allows entry of text in the save game field, but does not allow entry of the return key. -> string staying in buffer?
Happens immediately after completing a mission
Only way to get around it is to EXIT the program.
Going back to geoscape does not reset.

my typical sequence
save before mission
run mission - retry several times
Mission was left running (inactive) for several hours
complete mission successfully
splash screen comes up
ufo recovery screen comes up
- decide to KEEP the UFO (seems to be contributing factor)
Save
-- save fails.
//------------------------------------
This is a repeating bug. Frequently happened when I was just starting out. I think it is tied to the UFO recovery screen and choosing to recover a UFO.

//------------------------------------
Suggested workaround - add an autosave feature whenever someone switches to the option screen.
Or add cycling autosaves (1,2,3,1,2,3...)

please define the "save fails" step -and attach you ufoconsole.log

As written above, you can type in text into the savegame name box, but the return key seems to be ignored. You can still type in more text or backspace.
The save fails, because you are not able to complete the file name entry.

ufoconsole.log was reinitialized with the game after the failure. Will capture it, next time it happens.

^ That is probably the same issue with more info.
