Upon using "Save as" option, writer prompts to save in ~/Documents instead of the current directory. This is very confusing, as people more often than not keep their documents in more specific locations (E.g. ~/Documents/taskX), and it makes more sense to open up the dialog in the same directory where the currently opened document is. # Steps to reproduce 1. Execute in terminal "cd /tmp/ && touch foo.txt && lowriter ./foo.txt" 2. In Writer press menu "File → Save as" (a window will pop up) ## Expected The window is opened in /tmp/ ## Actual The window is opened in ~/Documents/ instead.

Also see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121194
Looks the same, so duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 121194 ***
I don't think this is a duplicate of bug 121194 This bug is about default folder for Saving bug 121194 is about the last path is not remembered after Export
I can't reproduce it in Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 1cfa1d9e1041b0e82d9be90847c428adfd01476e CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: threaded @Vera, do you reproduce it with GTK3 ?
@Konstantin, which OS are you using ?

For me too it says "VCL: gtk3". Could it have been fixed in version you're using? > @Konstantin, which OS are you using ? Archlinux
@Kontanstin, forgot to mention, please paste the info from Help - About LibreOffice
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #7) > @Kontanstin, forgot to mention, please paste the info from Help - About > LibreOffice This one from another PC, but it's reproducible here too, so it probably doesn't matter.

Amazing, it was probably fixed. @Vera, could you please check that newer build works as expected with the following steps: 1. Execute in terminal "cd ~ && touch /tmp/foo.txt && lowriter /tmp/foo.txt" 2. In Writer press menu "File → Save as" (a window will pop up) (the difference is that current "working directory" is ~, but the document still being opened in /tmp/)
Sorry I didn't test myself. See Bug 79255 that was closed as WFM. If steps are not reliably reproduces, this one may have the same fate.

I tested Comment 13 for Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 3d70b1253f964fb75cd4b5915b8dd031ee54d5c7 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.14; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2018-11-08_16:22:16 Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
This is amazing. Let's close then as WFM, at least until any more new information will appear. I actually hope, it was simply fixed in git, independently of this report.
