Well the behaviour of open and save dialogs would be different, as with open
dialogs you are selecting a file that already exists and with the save dialog
you are creating a new filename. I've given my comments around the open dialog
issue in bug 95309 and bug 79803.

This doesnt happen, test.doc.odt, which is why the issue has arisen. Automatic
file name extension auto inserts the correct file extension on the filename
when a users uses selects a format in the 'save as type' listbox.

Thankfully the ODF confirmation dialog has a checkbox to cancel it showing up
again. My suggest is to have the same behaviour as we have in linux and a
fallback for novice users who unintentionally save a particular format in the
wrong file extension file, like what Joel was doing.
