Description: In the save-Menu I selected a odt-file and then changed the fileextension in the input-field to pdf. This caused an other totally uninvolved pdf-file to be overwritten. Happened multiple times to me in the last days. (I lost some data and would have lost a lot more if not for backups!) Seems reproducible on my system. Libreoffice 6.0.6-3 (x86_64) on Arch Linux Steps to Reproduce: 1. have a folder with 2 files: foo.odf bar.pdf 2. Open foo.odf (in my case a series letter) 3. go to print 4. say yes to I want to do a series letter 5. specify print to file 6. navigate to the folder 7. select "foo.odt" with the mouse and then 8. change the filename in the input-field from "foo.odt" to "foo.pdf" and 9. click on save. Actual Results: The file is saved as bar.pdf. The old will get overwritten! The old content is lost. Expected Results: The file is saved as foo.pdf. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I don't know if it's limited to series letters and the PDF-Export.

Holy wow, this is nasty. The .odt does not need to be a serial letter. I reproduced by having two files in a folder and doing the steps. Before step 7, one has to change the format to "Any type" in order to be able to select the .odt. GTK3 is the only VCL backend with this problem.
