... that would be https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635357

It relates to the new Save as... and Open... dialogs not being documented yet. 
The user can now choose 4 different 'file formats' to save GnuCash data in: 
xml, sqlite3, mysql and postgres.

I agree with David that this should at least be mentioned in the 
documentation. Open and Save are very visible GUI elements, so having four 
options (with different parameters depending on the option) will confuse new 
users. Cristian has already provided some patches, so the documentation will 
likely be ready by this weekend.
