Why can't I save as PDF in Google Chrome?

The finder window appears briefly against a slightly grayed background and then it disappears, preventing the option to select destination and Save the PDF.

I have rebooted the computer. I Reset Chrome in Settings > Reset settings and the problem persists. I do not have any problems saving to PDF using Safari or any other Mac apps.

I am able to use File > Open File to view existing PDF documents in Chrome

I expected to be able to save a file to PDF.

I was viewing this on another person's computer and discovered that they had Chrome in full-screen mode. As soon they took it out of full-screen mode Save as PDF worked correctly.

This appears to be a rather obscure bug in Chrome.
