Description Saulo Toledo 2011-06-19 13:37:03 UTC

This is an annoying bug, but causes no data loss. How this happens:

1) Open LibreOffice (any application) and create a new file.
2) Save it with the name "my.file.name.ext" (ext is the file extension, odt, ods...)
3) Go to "File -> Save as" again, the name at window will be "my.ext": I lost ".file.name" and I need retype.

Please specify Libreoffice version and the operating system, because I cannot reproduce your bug on Windows/Linux with LibreOffice 3.3.2/3.4.

Comment 2 Saulo Toledo 2011-06-22 12:56:15 UTC

Version confirmed as 3.3.2 on Ubuntu (Natty) Linux. Versions 3.3.3 and 3.4.x not tested.
I saw this happens at recover window too: the file with "." at name only appear the part of the name preceding the "."

Returning to original post, I think I made a mistake. Let me try a new step-by-step:

1) Open LibreOffice Writer.

2) Save the file like my.completed.file.name (first problem here: at Linux, at least, LibreOffice will not put the file extension)

3) Go to "File -> Save as" again, the name at "Name" space of Save Window will be "my.completed.odt"

changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back

needinfo keyword redundant by needinfo status.
