Details:

When creating new file in GUI editor and trying to "Save" it first time or
"Save as" in opened dialog, ".m" file extension should be added automatically
if not typed with filename in "File name" field by user.

The reason is simple: If you press "Run" button in editor after saving file
without .m extension, you will get error "error: run: file must exist and be a
valid Octave script file" in miscellaneous/run.m because of Octave can run
only files with .m extension.
