Thanks for the report, the fix should be rolling out in a few days. In the meantime, invoking File->Save will have similar behavior.

Having problem saving with automatic and file> save as.

I see in the console a stack of errors

chrome Version 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I WAS able to save to github:

@pleabargain - the errors in the console originate from 'screenshot.min.js'- I do not believe this is a file Colab uses. Can you try incognito mode? There may be an installed Chrome extension which is getting in the way.

Had the same issue while using altair for graphs. The issue here is because the output is heavy and colab is not able to save it is not able to make a handshake because internet speed is poor. So just switch your internet source and see it working.
