When adding a subdirectory to the user's home directory a new directory is added, but not the selected subdirectory but only the user's home directory. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start e.g. LibreOffice Writer 2. Open "Extras -> Options..." 3. Go to "LibreOffice -> Paths" 4. Double-click "Templates" 5. Click the button "Add..." 6. In the newly opened window select a subdirectory of the current user's home directory (e.g. /home/myuser/documents/templates) Current behavior: A new directory /home/myuser is added. Expected behavior: The selected directory /home/myuser/documents/templates gets added.

This same problem applies to the "My Documents" path setting also. The "Add" button allows you to browse to a target folder such as "/home/username/Documents" but it only stores the "/home/username" part of the path.

The exact behavior is not cutting down the end of the path: actually, it always takes the home directory ($HOME), whichever path has been selected by the user (e.g. even if selecting /tmp). This is not related to the currect directory at launch time: if the software is launched from a different directory, it still takes $HOME.

It adds the directory that you are currently WITHIN, not the one that is selected. I'm marking this as NEEDINFO just because I believe that's what you are doing and this is behaving as expected but if you confirm, we may be able to add an enhancement request to make it behave differently. So if you do /home/joel/Downloads and then just highlight TEMPLATES, it'll actually add /home/joel/Downloads Now if you do this: /home/joel/Downloads/TEMPLATES (actually go into the TEMPLATES folder) and click ok, it'll add the appropriate folder. I agree that this is slightly strange behavior as clicking on a folder and highlighting it may lead a user (obviously does, made me do it the first time also), to think that the highlighted folder will get added, but it does not, the current working directory gets added. Please confirm my suspicion. If I'm correct, mark this as NEW and mark it as an enhancement request with low priority. Thanks!

Since this brought the described behaviour I tried to just select the directory and click OK with the same effect. But the enhancement additionally to the bug fix would be good idea, too.

If I use the LibreOffice dialogs I can add the selected directory, well, the directory which I'm currently in without any problems. So for me the bug appears under Xfce 4.10 with GTK+ 2.24.13 if I use the GTK dialogs instead of the LibreOffice dialogs.

Select Templates , then select Edit… Select Add… and add a path which is not the home directory. The path added is /home/<user>, irrespective of the path selected. This appears to be an instance of upstream bug https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55323, which describes the same behaviour *when the LibreOffice dialogs are not used* (See comment 6 "…I just found out that this bug only occurs if I don't use the LibreOffice dialogs for opening and saving files…." The impact is that there appears to be no way of setting any path to anything other than the installation defaults.
