Description Dr. Martinus 2025-05-05 08:31:31 UTC
Description:
It happened to me twice or thrice now: I open a file, work on it and want to save it under a different name - but in the same folder. However, LO seems to pick the folder, in which I had saved another document before that. And that folder has nothing to do with the document I want to save now. I don't know if this is supposed to be a feature or if it is a bug - I personally consider it a serious bug. This way, I have misplaced two or three files so far (maybe more, I don't know when this behaviour started), and it takes me some time to find the files when I need them.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save a file.
2. Change to a different folder and open a document from that folder
3. save the file as a different one, i.e. with a different name

Actual Results:
The file is saved in the folder where the file under 1 was saved

Expected Results:
The file should be saved in the folder, from which it was opened.


Reproducible: Always
