Yesterday I observed the behaviour you described, just once, first time 
in a few years since the bug saving with file names containing multiple 
'.'s (i.e. API12.578.PT100SB.odt) was fixed. This time also I had a file 
name suggested in the "Save As" Name field, no extension showing, file 
type .odt selected and LO saved the file without any extension.
I couldn't repeat it. I have no idea what logic is involved.
