IDE 2.0 rc4 save as saves to wrong file

Development Tools IDE 2.x

I pinned this issue down finally, it caused me grief in RC3 also.
If you do a "save as" to a different EXISTING .ino filename (by navigating to and selecting it in the windows file dialog) you get the expected "file already exists" warning. So far so good.
But when you click on yes, what it actually saves to is the file you are working on. The filename that was clicked on remains unchanged.
If you do a Save As to your current file, you get the file exists warning but it does update the working file.

I hate to talk to myself, but I am using RC5, and previously had this problem unidentified in RC3 and RC4.

What operating system and release number?

Windows 10, 21H1.
Or maybe you meant Arduino IDE 2.0, RC5 (just downloaded it tonight).

TY. Now that I understand this, I can workaround with the file explorer until you experts get it figured out.
