Description Jens-D Doll 2022-02-11 09:42:09 UTC
Description:
When creating a new document or creating a PDF a file dialogue appears, which is hard to position. You cannot scroll to the top of the tree. It stops at position 2 or jumps back to the initial directory, its a bad component. Also for PDF the initial directory should be the last one chosen, but it's the one from the save dialogue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open document
2. press button for PDF
3. the file dialogue appears

Actual Results:
it's positioned somewhere by old memory

Expected Results:
it should be positioned to the last directory used in that context


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

The PDF dialog not remembering the last location is in bug 147202.

About the other issues, can you please test again in a recent version of LibreOffice to see if it is still the case, and paste here the version information from Help > About LibreOffice?

Thank you!

The file dialogue is OK now.

Thank you for testing again and confirming it is now gone in 7.4.7.2!
(The version field is for "earliest version affected by the bug", so I am changing back to 3.3, even though I'm not sure you actually had tested that far back. If you can remember which version had the issue, please put that one in the field.)
Marking as "works for me" as we are not sure what fixed it.
Thanks!
