I'm marking this as triaged but I'm unsure how to solve it as we don't
want to allow write access to dot files in the home directory. Perhaps
libreoffice could be updated to create a different pattern for temporary
file names when under snap confinement?

Title:
[snap] cannot save file under $HOME
Status in snapd:
Triaged
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
(this was initially reported on the forum:
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/libreoffice-6-0-3-not-so-stable/5032)
When trying to save a file under $HOME (not a subdirectory), the user
is presented with an error dialog:
--- Error ---
Error saving the document Untitled 1:
Object not accessible.
The object cannot be accessed
due to insufficient user rights.
[OK]
This is because libreoffice tries to create a lock file of the form:
"$HOME/.~lock.Untitled 1.odt", and the home interface doesn't allow
writing hidden files (those with a filename that starts with a dot)
under $HOME.
