Description nospam2k 2021-01-31 01:51:37 UTC 
Reproduce:
#1. Create document, save as odt.
#2. Export as pdf, change directory to different from saved odt and export.
#3. Hit save. New saved document is created in pdf directory in #2.

Result: You will now have 2 same named odt documents. One in the directory from #1 and one in the directory from #2.

I tagged as critical as this could lead to data loss through deletion of the latest version of the document in the unintended pdf directory.

Can not reproduce on Windows builds. Export to PDF and additional edits of ODF do not direct the ODF document to the changed folder where PDF was saved.

Hello Nospam2k, a new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

I followed my original steps and there was not a 2nd odf (not odt... typo) document created so this can be closed.
