This issue also prevents importing CSV files stored in the user's home
directory.

You need to come up with a way to allow snap applications to do *any*
action the user explicitly initiates.  Only automated dotfile access
should be blocked.

Title:
  [snap] cannot save file under $HOME

Status in snapd:
  Triaged
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
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.
