Open a Writer file in a folder you didn't use for last Writer file. Go to "File" → "Save As". Folder for last saved Writer file will be opened. Expected behavior: Folder for the current opened Writer file will be opened. Version: 24.8.6.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 6d98ba145e9a8a39fc57bcc76981d1fb1316c60c CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 6.4; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded will show the buggy behavior, also newer versions. Older versions like LO 7.6 will show the folder for current file.
Sounds like a duplicate of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165917 Can you test main build and report back if the issue is resolved there please: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html
Tested with dev-build from 2025-Apr-13 02:51 Seems the buggy behavior doesn't appear in this version. Will set this one as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 165917 ***
