The bug happening

I'm running LibreOffice on Linux. When trying save my file, LibreOffice ask me if I want overwrite my directory. Filesystem is EXT3.

There is an image attached with the bug (pt_BR). How I got that window:
1) Create a file
2) Export to PDF
3) Paste the directory (at example: copy of /home/saulo/Documentos/(...)/Artigos para trabalho final/)
4) Click on save

LibreOffice will ask if we can ovewrite the directory.

LibreOffice 3.4  340m1(Build:12) on KDE OpenSuse. Cannot reproduce.

Followed your steps exactly:

1. Created a new document: Typed several words in it.
2. File > Export to PDF
3. Typed my directory in the bar: \home\Desktop\Folder (Folder is an existing directory)
4. When I press export to PDF, it does not ask if I can overwrite a directory. But since I have specified an existing directory, it takes me to within the directory, where I can see the files already in folder. Until I type a name for my PDF, it does not let me export. Once I enter a name, (Such as File1) the file is properly exported.

Perhaps the different results come from the different versions of LO we are using? Can you specify your version?

Sorry, I forgot the version. It's 3.3.3 and It's updated here.
I do not tested 3.4.0 yet, since there are no official packages for Ubuntu and the .deb files breaks some dependencies here.

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
