Sorry, I didn't find that existing bug because its title didn't seem
related to what I was seeing and I expect I skimmed over it.

>> if a plain text file is named with ".","o","g", and "g"
> what is the interest to write it that way rather than ".ogg"

It is a difficult habit to break. I've had so many prolonged discussions
with so many 13 year olds just converted from Windows on slashdot that
I've got used to trying to make it look like a really silly naming
requirement by pointing out how anal and unuserfriendly it is.

Regarding the c description, I was attempting to accurately, and
comprehensively highlight some of the usability issues involved, since I
don't know what level of technical knowledge (or Linux experience) the
triaging volunteers might have. I think this particular bug needed it
due to the large number of people migrating from Windows to Linux that
might not realise that this is a bug.
