Description michal.patocka 2025-08-26 13:54:57 UTC
Description:
in recent versions I have been getting a random error behavior -  when you have a document open in LibO and you want to use Save As or export to pdf the file dialog opens in a directory where previous document was saved. 
I tried 25.8.0.3 and it behaves that way randomly. Sometimes it offer the right directory, sometimes previous. I cannot identify the pattern.
I went back to 25.2.3.2 which, for me, lack this bug.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. save as (export to pdf)
2. file dialog opens

Actual Results:
Offers previous opened files directory, not directory of the file being saved as.

Expected Results:
Should offer directory where is file, which I want "save as" located.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
This bug appears in random versions since 25.2.3.2 where is absent.
