.....user wants to save image (in this particular exercise, image was screen capture)
. user selects File Save As
.... "Save Picture as" dialog appears, jpg as default
. user attempts to enter file name "leisa"
.... as user types, filetypes change (which changes filename), sometimes several times, making it difficult/impossible to enter file name
.... filetypes seem to be chosen based on whether or not a file or folder in that directory starts with the same character(s) for that file type
.... example: file name box is empty, user types in L - filetype shifts to PDF because user has a file in the directory that starts with L (in this case, Le Petit Prince.pdf)
workaround: instead of typing first character of filename FIRST, enter space first, then enter the rest of the filename, and finally remove the starting space.
video is available on request. it's entertaining, and annoying.
thanks
