Description Rob 2017-06-15 23:24:56 UTC
Description:
1. when i start office libre, using libreoffice5.2 icon on desktop and after i select Writer, the green Office Libre 'splash screen header' (green one) stays on desktop until i move a window over it.
2. SaveAs - defaults to save in My Documents (which is fine) but lists no sub-folders.  Also, same with Desktop - to go from SaveAs in My documents to SaveAs on my Desktop (for example) requires about 4 clicks and no sub folder are listed when i do get to the Desktop. Default behavior is to list docs only it seems, which is very limiting and confusing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just double click LibreOffice Icon on desktop and select Writer..when NOT opening in full screen mode, the splash header remains on desktop.

2.only way to get rid of it is to manually move a window over it - maybe not a bug, but certainly, an issue.
3.SaveAs pop-up window, as described, defaults to My Documents but lists no Sub-Folders...automatically - that should be a default behavior...no?

Actual Results:  
results in frustration and a pain on my buttocks area...my one good nerve gets fried every time.

Expected Results:
SaveAs should list all folders and files, and be easier to navigate to Desktop, or wherever i need to save it 


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: Yes -  same
What should the software have done instead? -  should make me feel sexy :)
or at least...smart enough to save a file where i want .

Additional Info:
thanks for putting this office suite out there for users at no cost - deeply appreciate that effort - donation forthcoming.

Subfolders have always worked for me in the file dialog on Windows.
Haven't seen the splash screen issue either.

Maybe try with version 5.3.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
