I have the same bug too, but I believe #915165 describes the same
problem more accurately. Hence I mark this one as a duplicate.

Cannot specify save directory for some GTK+3 applications - Recent/recursive
directories replace user selection.

Title:
Transmission starts saving to a folder within Downloads and will not
allow me to select another folder to save to
Status in “transmission” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When using Transmission, I do not modify the default setting 'Save to
Location', it should still be set to Downloads. But, if I download a
torrent that creates a folder within Downloads, or make an empty
folder myself, Transmission changes the Save-to location to this
folder. The drop down in Preferences is not responsive, I click
Downloads but it goes back to saying the name of whichever folder it
has selected. Selecting 'Other' and choosing the folder from within
the dialogue changes nothing.
I have deleted ~/.config/transmission. This did not solve the problem,
it occurred again as soon as there was a folder within my Donwloads
dir.
What is expected to happen:
Transmission saves all files and folders into Downloads and this setting
does not change.
What is happening:
Transmission saves files into any folder it can find within Downloads.
It changes the setting in Preferences and does not allow it to be changed back.
