Description Andreas Säger 2021-10-08 17:23:50 UTC 
Assuming a file with a wrong name extension (quite often .xls instead of .csv), menu:File>Properties guesses the file type by name extension whereas menu:File>Save As... indicates the actual file type that has been detected when loading the file.

Also repro using OOo 3.2.0.
Comment 2 Mike Kaganski 2021-10-10 13:06:46 UTC 
Code pointer: sfx2/source/dialog/dinfdlg.cxx, function SfxDocumentPage::Reset, the relevant label is represented by m_xShowTypeFT.
