Possible difference between RPM and DEB OO instaals
A thread on en-Forum suggests that there may be a difference, perhaps even a bug, between the RPM and DEB linux installs.
In /Tools /Options /OpenOffice : General, there is an option to switch between OO file dialogues and O.S. file dialogues.
In this thread
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=81618
the OP posts a screenshot to show he has not that option running on CentOS 7.1. acknak, a Forum Administrator, has the option running on Fedora 23, but indicates that it doesn't work. Both of these are RPM installs.
It does work for me running on Xubuntu 15.10 (DEB file install)
Can list members with appropriate machines confirm this difference before we post it to Bugzilla?

Thank you, Kay. I have passed your advice on to the thread in question. I must admit I had not read that installation note - years ago I found an install method that worked for me, which I can do in my sleep, and never needed to look beyond it.

I'm on CentOS 6.7 with gnome 2. Either the default dialogs or unchecking
and using the gnome2 version for Save As... works correctly for me.
ALL Linux users should install the freedesktop menus since gnome and kde
both use this interface. This is covered in our installation instructions:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/common/instructions.html
Other desktop interfaces may not work correctly with this, however.

RPM install on Fedora 20 w/Gnome 3 works.

Thanks, Andrea.
I'll pass that on. acknak can be relied upon to supply any required information.

We don't have different packaging in this respect, I think. Anyway in
4.1.2 RPM I can successfully switch between OpenOffice dialogues and
system (GNOME 3) dialogues.

I guess this may be an environment issue. I would definitely like to
know more on this, but this is not a packaging issue.

Andrea.
