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.
