Clicking on a file name in the Save As dialog removes the extension (.html or .jpg)

In previous versions of (any) browser I could save a web page, and if there were more than one page, as in a thread in a forum, I used to be able to click on the saved file, "file 01.html" in the Save as dialog, it would show up as "file 01.html" and I could change the 01 to 02 for the second page, ie "file 02.html"

But now when I click on the file name it shows as "file 01", the .html disappears. Same for .jpg or any other extension.

This is very annoying, especially when I find a long, multipage thread on a subject I want to read later offline.

Bug or Feature? Either way I don't like it.

How can I change it back?

Thanks, David

I have seen that as well. If I change the name of a .jpg picture I am downloading, I have to add back the extension into the file name. If I do not change the name, the extension is kept.
