Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Save a file as template MyTemplate.ott 2. open a new file from such template and modify it 3. save it as a template by overwriting the MyTemplate file Current behavior: trying to save the template in two different ways which are both unsuccessful. First way: try to clic on the icon of the MyTemplate file in the pop-up window and then click "Save". If you open a new file from such a template you will see that NONE OF THE CHANGES you made while executing step two of above has been applied. Second Way: as the popup window opens, just click on "Save" without selecting any template icon, then give the template exactly the MyTemplate name. Opening a new file from MyTemplate will not be possible since you get an error like that "unable to find MyTemplate" or something like that. Actually the MyTemplate icon on the popup menu is different than others (no preview, just the standard Writer icon). Opening the templates directory actually you will see there's no more the MyTemplate.ott file but there's a MyTemplate1.ott file (the character "1" has been added to the MyTemplate name, the MyTemplate.ott file has disappeared). Renaming back MyTemplate1.ott to MyTemplate.ott and then open a new file as a MyTemplate template will cause you an error similar to "unable to find MyTemplate1" (!!!yes, now you want it, now that I changed it!!!) Expected behavior: save the modification to the template. Operating System: Linux (Other) Version: 4.1.4.2 release

Did jjust that. Libreoffice asked me if I want tooverwrite thtemplate, which I did. The icon of the template with the same name appeared briefly on the template manager, next to the old one.. I clicked the upper-right gear icon and selected "Refresh". The "extra" icon disappeared >Opening a new file from MyTemplate will not be possible since you get > an error like that "unable to find MyTemplate" or something like that.
