Hi :
I'm using 7.3.7.2 on UbuntuStudio and I'm always using 'save as' but I've never
had the problem you describe. Sorry.

Hi all; a very weird issue has been found by my wife, which I can repeat on a
separate machine. Both use LO 7.3.7.2 on Mint 21.
What happens is this. Take an odt file, open it in Writer then go to 'Save As'.
The expected behaviour is that the filename in the dialogue box will be filled
in and selected/highlighted and there'll be no file type appended. Eg, I open
yyy.odt, and 'Save As' displays just 'yyy' (highlighted).
However, sometimes and for no apparent reason, the dialogue box instead
displays filename and file type ('yyy.odt'), with the type (only) highlighted.
This causes issues when trying to save as a different type (eg as .docx)
Even more odd is that simply copying (^C, ^V in a file manager) a
wrongly-behaving file to a different directory can change the behaviour.
I wondered if my wife had managed to include some weird character, but
the filename /looks/ kosher: 'ls -1 | od -cb' shows nothing untoward. And
indeed, one or two of my own files show the same behaviour. (I rarely use 'Save
As' anyway.)
I'm at a bit of a loss about where to check next. Has anyone else experienced
this please and can say what's happening?
TIA.
