Description Ramon Tavarez 2020-07-02 17:32:30 UTC
Description:
When exporting a file to PDF format, WRITER shows the name to be exported (i.e.: the name of the file), but select (highlight) the first file at the directory's list, and when you click on EXPORT button ask you if you want to overwrite the file selected.

To avoid it you must select the name on FILE NAME to specify the name that should be used.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create your WRITER file
2.EXPORT to PDF (Icon  or Menu)
3. Select the target directory to save the file
4. Click on EXPORT button (if there is a PDF file you'll be asked to confirm overwriting)

Actual Results:
The user is asked to confirm the overwriting of th first PDF file existing at the target directory

Expected Results:
No overwriting of exisiting files


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

This looks like a duplicate of bug 130505, except it should be resolved in LO 6.4.4. Please retest with latest LO.
