Description siranm 2008-01-28 00:42:42 UTC 
) I have a document
) Select SAVE AS... (or save the first time) 
) Try to save as a particular file type, for example Word 97/2000
) I change my mind, and I choose another file type, for example XML 
) On the File Name text box, still appears .DOC
) I select another extension, for example RTF
) Now Writer puts the extension as XML

That is, Writer always shows the previously selected extension, not the one I
just selected.

The same "Save As..." defect happens also in "Calc".

IM not sure about the version I have, the "About..." dialog says only 2.3.0, not
 "RC1".

I try to download searcg for an update, it says (in spanish) "Failed update" =
"Comprobando actualizaciones fallidas."

This is a known problem with the automatic file extension feature and has been
reported a lot of times. For example see issue 2543, issue 2852, and issue 7393.

It was addressed by issue 78854 and issue 81651, so it's somewhat fixed in the
latest OOH680/SRC680 builds.

See also issue 85307.

@siram: En la versión 2.3.1 (la última publicada oficialmente) sigue así, pero
en la 2.4 (todavía en desarrollo) han cambiado la forma en que funciona y ya no
pasa esto.
Para actualizar tu versión, hay que hacerlo a mano, desinstalando la vieja e
instalando la nueva. Si el problema no es muy molesto, yo que tú esperaba la
salida de la versión 2.4. Si necesitas más ayuda con ésta u otra cuestión,
tienes a tu disposición la lista de usuarios de la comunidad en español de
