The saveas dialog always select the first subdirectory of the current one,
if I press <save> the dialogue simple brings me to the next subdirectory.
I freshly installed libreoffice 6.4.0 from  LibreOffice_6.4.0_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
at the libreoffice site and it behaves correctly, i.e. there is no subdirectory
autoselection.

Thank you

Can't reproduce this. Tried with "gen" ("use LibreOffice dialogs" in the
options, gtk3 and kde5).

And comparing apples with pies doesn't help. And we don't patch that
code.

What desktop are you on? Which UI setting? (See Tools->About, maybe, if
you have no clue). Did you force gtk2 somehow and this is an other
incarnation of #951060.

Dear Rene,

I understood from the text shown by reportbug about libreoffice that comparing to the
native version was required or preferred, maybe I was not able to understand it, or maybe
it is written wrong or maybe more hints are needed.

CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: x11;

is this what you need?

No, I did not do anything to gtk2,

0% dpkg -l "*gtk2*"

Hi,

Yeah, sorry, there have been "you broke it compared to upstream" bugs
lately and telling it was a Debian bug whiereas it definitely was a
upstream one...

Yeah, that was meant.

Anyways: unreproducible

lowriter
random writer document: here just entering "a".
Save as
[I am on /home/rene, which has gazillions of subdirs]
enter abc.odt
LO saves as abc.odt *in /home/rene*, which is what is expected.

Regards,

Rene

Dear Rene,
just some more info:
1. it is not tied to icewm, the same happens with openbox
2. it has nothing to do with libreoffice configuration, libreoffice behaves the same after
   removing .config/libreoffice
3. it has nothing to do with the graphic card, I have different graphic cards at home and
   at work and the same ill behaviour at both places.
I know each of these was rather improbable, but I wanted to rule them out.
If you have suggestions for further tests, please provide them.
Thank you,
best wishes
Fulvio

Hi,

i've seen the same problem here, so it should be reproducible.

I think, the issue is related to some error in the focus control.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Select "File -> Save as" from the menu.
2) Notice that the first folder in the pop-up dialog is marked
3) Press the save button
4) The pop-up dialog is now in this first folder.
5) The process can be repeated.

Basically, the dialog is confusing in that pressing the "save" button actually
triggers a double-click on the selected folder in the dialog.

Workaround:

The trick is to get rid of the focus on the folder. At the bottom of the
dialog are two fields (filename, format). As soon, as one makes a selection
here, the focus in folder dialog is removed and the "save" happens as to be
expected.

Additional information:

1) The folder list appears to lag the parent directory ("..") for navigation.
2) I've seen this problem on a different version: 1.7.0.4-3, but it appears to
be the same from the description, so i post it here.

Hope it helps
