it is *not*
it is the *Apple* way to override the user and not the Linux one
if i want the Apple way i go out and buy a Mac

it is appropriate in Linux / Unix that *the user* thinks and

if I enter the complete filename already *with* the extension
it's completly ludicrous that a second extension is added
and to make it as laughable as possible the .txt is not
predicatable aded, for some extensios yes and for others not

and for random extensions you need to rename the file
after you created it - the rename dialog is smarter
and selects only the basename while with CTRL+A you
select the complete name including the extension
