Image illustrating the issue, language is set to Norwegian Bokmål

After saving for example a LibreOffice text document (.odt) with the name of MyTitle in the ~/Templates folder, any new file created from that template is named [untitled][MyTitle][.extension]

This issue becomes even more confusing to users on localized versions where [untitled] is set after the extension, so you then have [Mytitle][.extension][untitled]. This can be seen by using for example Norwegian or Romanian language, or in the provided image illustrating the issue.

This is a very confusing usability issue as the user expects to only set a new title of the file but instead have to both set a new title, remove the text "untitled", and be careful enough to not change the extension in the middle.


In short:
- Open LibreOffice Writer and make a new file. Save it with the name of MyTitle.odt in the ~/Templates folder. 
- Right mouseclick in a folder, select New document > MyTitle

Result:
A file with the name of either "untitled MyTitle.odt" or "MyTitle.odt untitled" (order depending on the language in use) is created. 

Expected result:
A file with the name of simply "MyTitle.odt"

We fixed it long time ago, seems you are using an old version.
