            Bug ID: 119978
           Summary: Save dialog incorrectly selects first document in
                    directory when changing save format.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.1.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: framework
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: osavill at uklinux.net

Description:
Create a new document, add some words and save it is foo.odf. 
Select Save As, in order to save it as a docx file

The first docx file in the directory is used to populate the file name! Random,
annoying and possibly destructive.

Without noticing this I happily selected the Word 2007 - 2019 format as clicked
Save. 

The file that was auto selected, e.g. bar.docx, got overwritten! 

Actual Results:
The first document in the directory may get overwritten regardless of the
actual name of the file your editing.

Expected Results:
The document with the same name and possibly a different extension should get
written to or possibly overwritten if applicable.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
What happened to the Major bug category. I feel this is a major bug as to
anyone who doesn't notice this happening as being destructive
