            Bug ID: 111071
           Summary: Behavior is not consistent when saving with unknown
                    file extension
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: baron at caesar.elte.hu

For clarification, "unknown file extension" is anything that's after the last
period in the file name, not necessarily an actual file extension. Users often
add dates or versions to file name, sometimes delimited by dots.

Normally the files end in an actual extension, but if not, it can cause
subsequent issues.

- Save a file with the name "abcd.12" in Writer.

=> ".odt" is correctly added as extension, which is good.

- Rename the file to "abcd.12" in the OS.
- Save a file with the name "abcd.12" in Writer in the same directory.

=> There is a confirmation dialog for overwriting the existing "abcd.12" file,
so ".odt" is not added in this case, which is inconsistent.

In Windows there's a checkbox in the save dialog, "Automatic file name
extension" that wasn't touched, and was checked in both cases.

Observed with LO 5.4.0.3 & 3.3.0 / Windows 7.
