A recent LibreOffice upgrade came with a new "save file" interface. This interface functions differently than the previous interface in one key manner described below that leads to some problems: Steps to reproduce: 1. Start a new LibreOffice document (e.g. with Writer) 2. Save the document 3. Observe the file type selected by default (e.g. .odt) 4. Enter a file name with an extension of a DIFFERNT file type (for example, enter a file name of "MyTestDocument.doc") 5. Press Tab 6. Expect that the file type field has changed to reflect the different file type that the users wishes to use. 7. Observe that the file type field has NOT changed. And most importantly, observe that the file name extension (.doc) being used disagrees with the file type being used (.odt) 8. Save and close the document. 9. Navigate to the file with a file browser and open it with LibreOffice. 10. Expect the window title of the opened document to agree with file name (e.g. MyTestDocument.doc) 11. Observe that the window title reads "Untitled 1". 12. Make a change to the document and attempt to save the document. 13. Expect that the document saves quickly without further action required. 14. Observe that a SAVE AS dialog appears because the document was not opened in a way that tied it to the existing file. The "Untitled 1" window title is how I encountered this bug and I was so incredibly confused! One can work around this bug by manually changing the file type in the save file dialog. OR after saving the file, one can change the file name extension to the default extension that LibreOffice is set to use, and then the file will open correctly again. I feel this bug is important though because the user has no indication that upon saving the file, LibreOffice will refuse to correctly open the file again.
for me to a larger extent not reproducible with LO 4.3.1.2 (Win 8.1) Step 6: is reproducible, it would be good if the file extension would switch to the typed file type Step 11: not reproducible Step 14: not reproducible
I'm unable to reproduce. Do you have the libreoffice-gnome package installed?
Hello Sean, Thank you for submitting the bug. The save dialog is controlled by the operating system and not libreoffice, so its unfortunately not something we can fix. If this is related to LibreOffice's own dialogs, then it is something that we can fix. Which version of LibreOffice did the save file dialog work correctly?
