Confirmed, thanks for the clean repro.

It’s a macOS-specific defect in the save-dialog name field: when we pre-fill a suggested filename that already includes the extension, macOS appends the filter’s extension on top, giving you New Project.fcp.fcp. The same pattern was lurking in a few other save and export dialogs too, so all of them are fixed together in the next upcoming macOS build. Windows isn’t affected.

Can confirm this issue is fixed in 16.0.3064.

You mentioned the last version is “16.0.0.3064”, but the About dialog shows version as “16.0.3064”, is that intended?

Glad to know it is fixed.

About the version string, yes, that is intended, although I agree it can be a little confusing.

On Windows the version is exposed as 16.0.0.3064, while on macOS it is shown as 16.0.3064. This is mostly a historical/platform difference in how the version number is displayed.

Both refer to the same build, so 16.0.3064 on macOS is the one that contains the fix.

Thanks again for reporting the issue.
