Bug ID: 156765
Summary: 'Save As' dialogue box is inconsistent in whether it
shows a default file type or not
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Writer: 'Save As' using the system dialogue style sometimes shows at the top
just a filename (preselected) and sometimes a name plus file type (the type
being preselected). Circumstances are not clear: renaming a file (including
moving to a different directory) before opening can change the behaviour.
Normally no type is displayed, and 'Save As' to a non-odf file gives a saved
file with the correct type. When the type is displayed, the file will always be
saved with that type, even if it is inapproriate for the format.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Sorry! There seems no way to produce this to order. (Yes, I know :-{ )
2.
3.
Actual Results:
'Save As' shows a file type in the filename box
Expected Results:
No file type is expected to be shown
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: Yes

(I know this also happens at least back to 6.4.7.2.
With an affected file on a shared NFS filesystem, the problem shows up on all
machines that can access that file provided the mountpoint is the same.
Changing mountpoint can make the issue not appear although the file remains
unchanged. eg mounting my nfs home on /mnt will 'fail' for a particular file,
while remounting say on /tmp/zzz works ok.
On a slower machine, a screencapture video shows the correct dialogue (name
only) is shown first, then replaced quickly by an incorrect one (name plus
type)
