Mp3tag automatically [and without any indication] can change for example

```
Song .flac

```

into

```
Song.flac

```

If there is a tag field that has

```
%_FILENAME%

```

values put in it [so it displays only names, without extensions], and a file has pauses at the end of it, after clicking such file in such tag field [gaining access to write in it] you have to press ESC to preserve such pauses; because if you even do nothing and just click some other line with other file, then those pauses will get wiped out

Although for most users such a behavior is useful [because it cleans filenames], for me sometimes it is not [because I may have some temporary copies or other version of a file, distinguished by amount of pauses at the end]

But what is more important, it is not the software that should decide how a file should look like. Doing anything without even informing the user that something was done is just plain wrong. [And that it why I consider it a bug, and why I did not post this as a request]
