This is a problem with your web browser (probably Internet Explorer or Edge), which makes assumptions about file extensions.

Quick fix

The quick fix is to use a different web browser (Chrome and Firefox are known to not show this bug). With these browsers, things will most likely save automatically in the correct way. If not, at least chrome has a checkbox in the save-as dialog to force the correct extension.
