I was thinking also to try direct from the LO site, it is just so much easier to install/remove upgrade/downgrade using the system package manager and repositories.

Mike,

It seems that you have not yet installed directly from the LibreOffice download site. Many years ago, when I still thought Ubuntu was a viable option for me, I had problems with their variant of LibreOffice. Installing the real thing eliminated the problems.
Best wishes.

I just switched from the KDE file manager (Dolphin) to the LO file load/save dialogues, there is definitely an issue with LO when using Dolphin that is not evident with other apps using Dolphin.
Philip, are you using LO from their site or an Ubuntu packaged version.
Mike, you say both machines are Mint, MATE or Xfce? Did you install from a PPA or the LO website.
Mint Mate; versions 21 and (iirc) 20.2 on the lappy.

LO is installed from the relevant ubuntu PPA. This machine (mint 21) says (synaptic) 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.0.4.3, but I think the other machine is on LO 6.something (IMBW) from the ub PPA. They have the same issue.
I do find the unpredictability rather concerning. I've just had to 
hunt for a "failing" file, but did find one. 'Save As' consistently 
(well, for the moment anyway!) adds the file extension in the 
dialogue. I switched to LO style dialogue boxes, and they behave as 
expected (file name given, no extension) - switching back to system 
style dialogues restores the wrong behaviour.
BTW, of two files -- an original plus a copy made with Caja (^C and 
^V) -- they consistently (for now) behave in the two different ways.
Thanks all for more comments. I hesitate to raise a bug report over 
this; for one thing the LO web bug page I found last time pretty 
incomprehensible, but for another it's really not repeatable enough. 
I'm not really sure where to go from here.
