Since v6.05 or close, document "save as" and PDF export fail to use current doc location as the starting point, reverting to user home directory as a starting point. I noticed this change ~2 months ago, but put it down to a blip as I use Tumbleweed. However it has persisted through several update cycles and is still present in LO 6.1.0.3. Cannot confirm which version the bug arrived in but see comment linked below referencing 6.0.5; this matches, give or take, the release history of LibreOffice in Tumbleweed i.e. I'd look there for the regression. https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/37405/make-libreoffice-remember-last-default-location/ Also seems related to recent comments on https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34303
The problem is in that DE integration. On Windows builds it still works correctly if you force use of the LO file dialog rather than the system file dialog supported by the projects VistaFilePickerImpl, which has long had problems as in bug 34303 and bug 37814 But the setting was moved from Tools -> Options -> General to a Expert Configuration stanza. Search for "UseSystemFileDialog" Please retest using the LO file dialog rather than your distro's to see if the problem is likewise with the DE support of your distro. =-testing-= On Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US (1803) with Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 9a9b81c7212fa6a6762246593acf3f1950677a22 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-09-07_23:40:38 Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: threaded
In Linux, using LO version 6.1 with "Use LibreOffice dialogs" enabled I notice the regression when exporting a database report but not when exporting a word processing or spreadsheet document.
Concur the issuw I reported is not in the LO native file save box. But: this is the first time in some years I've seen that native file save box; the issue did not exist using the DE (Plasma 5) file save before ~6.05; the issue is affecting more than one DE. So do we assume the bug is in the API used by the DEs?
Please take a look at the info under Help > About LibreOffice. If it says "VCL: gtk3_kde5" then it's likely a duplicate of Bug 119133, and should be fixed for 6.1.1.

I should have got around to reporting it sooner and then a fix might have been released already!

Please test it again with the latest version to verify it's indeed fixed. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 119133 ***
