As reported by petermad in another thread, shift-F4 on an existing file that has got no filename extension, will nuke the existing file and create a new 0 byte file instead.

The same bug also applies to Shift+F4 on a file without extension - in stead of opening the existing file it creates a new zero-byte file
Problem confirmed in that other thread by 2 users:

(This is particularly nasty, because existing file content is nuked.)

And sorry again for not having created a separate thread earlier.
