Research direction
Reproduce the reported File → Save as workflow in version 0.30.3 using the XSECTION layout and DXF selection. Check whether the filename and selected format are preserved, whether formats appear twice, and whether warning text is clipped; also compare opening the exported DXF in Inkscape and LibreOffice. Done means the reported save-dialog issues are resolved and the DXF opens as expected.

Description
Hi @klayoutmatthias
noticed some issues with the File → Save as.
- version
0.30.3 - made an XSECTION of a
sky130ALayout and wanted to save it as a DXF:
- next I choose the format from the popup button list and the filename
xsection.dxf
- then I get this window:
Issues observed:
- the chosen filename is not getting respected, instead
.oasis appended (might be a side-effect of point 2) - Instead of chosen format DXF, OASIS is selected
- Warning text is clipped vertically
- Warning text is clipped vertically
In addition, in the format popup button list everything is listed twice:
Potentially there's also a DXF serialization problem (or Inkscape has a bug), when trying to open the DXF with Inkscape:
It does open successfully in LibreOffice:
Best,
Martin
