Vish (vish) has assigned this bug to you for openoffice.org in ubuntu:

When overwriting a file from the Save dialog in OpenOffice.org the Save
dialog is closed and then a popup appears with the text, "The file
already exists. Overwrite?" (on slower computers there is a short pause
between the two things happening). This popup does not contain the name
of the file that you've chosen to overwrite and so I always have to be
very careful when saving the file. What if I decide to overwrite a file
and accidentally select the wrong one? I will face the same error
message as if I chose to overwrite the right file and so I wouldn't even
notice.

In other GNOME applications (e.g. gedit), the corresponding dialog box
says, “A file named "filename.extension" already exists.  Do you want to
replace it?”. Also, this dialog box is displayed while the folder view
in the Save dialog is displayed behind it. If I so wish, I can move the
dialog box and look to see if I'm in the right folder. This plus the
mention of the filename means I can save files over other files in gedit
without having to worry about whether I've destroyed something else.
