Showing saveas dialog with unobeyed path

(current head 0c016af83ba42c3b368f7ffb7c58add19b6ec713 on Fedora 33, xfce)
If I go to File->saveas and edit the directory path at the top of the dialog to /tmp   it still saves the file in the original directory.

a) File->Save as
b) Click in the path entry at the top
c) Select content
d) Delete it
e) Type /tmp
f) Click Save

Expecting it to save it in /tmp

Thanks for reporting. I can repro it in 

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: ecb916667b633f8647790e040226b093760e6cfe
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

but not sure is it really a bug. Entering a full path it's possible to save the file in Temp folder

Thanks for checking; my feeling is it's still a bug, it wasn't obvious why my files weren't going into /tmp when I'd asked them to, and a UI shoudln't be that subtle!

Can't reproduce. When you click Save, when happens is that the directory changes to /tmp and nothing is saved.

Tried this with:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 516f800f84b533db0082b1f39c19d1af40ab29c8
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: he-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US

and:

Version: 7.6.4.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e19e193f88cd6c0525a17fb7a176ed8e6a3e2aa1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US

I somewhat doubt that you did :-( It's a bug report about the file save dialog, really, not LO - and I've never seen a file save dialog do something like this.
Comment 4 Eyal Rozenberg 2024-01-24 15:36:39 UTC
Marking is INVALID, as actually it _shouldn't_ save with your reproduction instructions, anywhere. 

OP, if you feel I've misunderstood your expectation - please reopen and explain.
