Description: On Fedora 25+GNOME 3.22, the last save location is not remembered across documents/launches. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open any LibreOffice app. 2. Make a document, and save it to some deeply-nested location. 3. Make another document, and do the same thing again. Actual Results: The save panel shows the default location (~/Documents), and you need to manually navigate to the desired location. Expected Results: When you save the second document, the save panel displays the location where you saved the previous one. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes. Additional Info: This happens with both the system save/load panels as well as the LibreOffice-specific ones.

Hello Nate, *, thank you very much for reporting this bug :) I can confirm it with OS: Debian Testing AMD64 LO: Version: 5.2.3.3 Build-ID: d54a8868f08a7b39642414cf2c8ef2f228f780cf CPU-Threads: 4; BS-Version: Linux 4.5; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group back to OOo: OOO320m12 (Build:9483) (parallel installed following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux) Are you sure, that this has worked in the past? But as I can confirm it, I will change the status to "NEW" and version to "Inherited from OOo". HTH Thomas.
I don't know if it ever worked in the past. I can confirm that the problem is seen in the Mac version, too (5.2.2.2). However, the accepted answer to this question implies that at some point in the past this did work: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/37405/make-libreoffice-remember-last-default-location/ But perhaps that person was mistaken.
This may be an artifact of the GTK file pickers (or the way they're invoked), since I just noticed that the correct behavior is seen when LibreOffice is run in a KDE environment where it uses the QT file pickers instead.
Please ignore that comment. In a KDE environment, the correct behavior is seen with the *open* dialog, but not the *save* dialog. The original bug is still seen in both cases.
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Still present in 6.0.3.2 Version: 6.0.3.2 Build ID: 1:6.0.3-0ubuntu1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: kde4; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group
Seems to be an upstream bug. We've found a fix in KDE Plasma: https://phabricator.kde.org/D14437 Probably GTK need a similar change.
