Well that's because ".file" looks like an extension already....
Imagine you want to name your kspread files foo.kspread because .ksp looks ugly.
You can actually do that. If .ksp was always appended, then you wouldn't be able to.

The "what's this" help for the checkbox in the file dialog says explicitely
that an extension is added *only* "if no extension is specified".

KDE-wide actually.

I'm tempted to say there is no bug, since it works as documented.
On the other hand, it makes a difference whether one types the filename first
or selects the type first, since when selecting the type in the Filter combo,
the extension is automatically changed (even when having typed "spread.file").
So this looks a bit inconsistent...
