When JARing the project files, it is a bit of a nuisance to remember every single time to type the .jar extension in the save dialog. It is rather annoying to go to run the file and find that it isn't complete.
I don't think this is a bug, though: The dialog asks the user for the file name, the user types in a file name, and the file gets that file name. It works exactly as it should.
There is a bit of an inconsistency: The browser adds the .jar extension automatically, but the text field does not. I personally don't believe in options like "hide known file extensions" or automatically adding file extensions. The latter often makes me create files named article.doc.doc or program.jar.jar.
I'm refiling this as feature request: Perhaps we could add an option to add the extension or a dialog that asks if the extension should be appended. Always appending it would be wrong, though, it would introduce a bug where there is none.
