In Chrome, when I download a file with an extension that the OS doesn't recognize (in this case, .erb, the dialog defaults to appending .txt to the end of it. I highlight the .txt and delete it before hitting save, but then I open the directory and find foo.erb.txt where I should find foo.erb.
How do I get the system to save the file with the extension I told it to?

Apparently this is a chrome bug that's been around for some time and never seems to have been fixed.
Several bug reports are available but I haven't ever seen a fix or even a chrome extension that fixes it. I think if the web server identifies the content or mime type correctly it might work, but looks like there's nothing you can do about that from the browser-side of things.
