Bug Description
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.

Confirming the issue on OOo 3.2
According to HIG > http://

The common dialogue for this for other gnome apps for "save as" :
Primary text:
A file named "Document.txt" already exists. Do you want to replace it?
Secondary text:
The file already exists in "/home/
Two buttons named "Cancel" and "Replace" [not no/yes]
The diagloue needs to be improved.
