Description:
Hi. Great program. Reminds me of Word Prefect and almost good enough to give up on Office and Word. 

But the Save and Save As dialogue Boxes are awful. 

No folders tree, only a Box called Places, where folders can be added, but to get to the folders to add is also near impossible and clicking on the Saved Folder still does not open the fold tree within that folder or allow you to go back up the tree.

Also when you open a folder, the first file in the folder is highlighted, and even if you have given the file a name, when save is clicked, it will try to name the file with the automatically selected file's name, so you need to then unselect that file by clicking and the name you have already given the file.

There is also no parent folder up button. 

Please just do a standard folder tree with a back button.

And I have no idea what the Servers button is for??

Thanks John

SaveAs in 7.0

Works fine here in 7.1, 7.0 and all older versions (unless you have "Use LibreOffice dialogs" enabled in Options->LibreOffice->General, which is off by default, and enabling it has a limited value in very specific situations).

Unfortunately, the report does not show anything the user actually sees, and implies that everyone sees exactly what OP sees. This might not be the case, and I suppose that this be closed INVALID on the assumption that the problem is not because of a bug in LO, but because of the mentioned setting in options, that works as intended (and should be disabled by OP to get the desired result).

Needinfo for reporter to clarify which dialog is used. 
If issue is resolved with using system dialog, please set NotABug.
