You do NOT want to enable Hide extension of known file types. This is a threat.
If you get a file such as myfile.pdf.exe you may think it is a PDF file and if you
Double-Click it you are actually launching an EXE file and you will get infected!

No, it isn't a bug. Something is wrong on your system. Start by making sure
the computer is virus/malware-free:

After you've done the necessary work and if the computer is clean, fill in
more details per:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't?

Maybe he is trying to use it to unhide the extensions.
