hope, this solves the issue

Title:
open/save dialog doesn't remember last folder across sessions
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gedit
Open a new gedit instance, the open and save dialogs both default to
the home folder. Now open or save a document in another folder, for
example ~/Documents. From then on all further invocations of a dialog
within this window will default to ~/Documents.
Now open a new gedit window or close and reopen gedit or even just
drag a new tab out of window #1 to create a new window. The dialogs in
window #2 again default to the home folder instead of remembering the
folder you last used to open or save a document.
I very much doubt that is intended and by design but even if it was
especially in case of the drag tab out of window it really makes no
sense.
I don't think upstream is very interested in this kind of usability
bug. There are a few related bugs e.g.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/86989 unresolved
for years. Gedit 2.9 in GNOME 3 is still affected.
In case you came here looking for a solution, some kind of workaround:
alt+1 switches to Documents, alt+D to documents, alt+f focuses the search
bar...
seems to work in all gtk file dialogs.
