"Render As" Dialog Bug--Anyone else?

I reported this to Sony, but they are unable to reproduce this and now I'm wondering if it's just me:

1. Put anything on the timeliine (just to have something to render).
2. Choose "Render As..."
3. Note the "Save as type" and the filename chosen.
4. Now, change the "Save as type" to something with a different extension. The filename doesn't update its extension.

For example, if I choose "Render As" and the "Save as type" is currently set to "Video for Windows", the default filename on an unsaved project would be "Untitled.avi". Now if I change the "Save as type" to Quicktime, the filename should change to "Untitled.mov", but it doesn't. It stays at "Untitled.avi".

This behavior only exists on Vegas 6.0 on my system. No other program I have installed does this. Sooo....anyone else able to confirm this?

Thanks,

-Brent

I wonder if it's something that varies depending on what you might have installed on your particular system. In my case, i see the behavior you describe with every program i run. I've found thought that it will still save with the correct extension despite what is shown in the dialog box. The only time it messes up is if i type something different, then it will use what i type instead of the correct extension.

It updates fine here.
Tried several different formats and it changed everytime.

I can't duplicate this in my installation of Vegas 6.
