No you are not, this is how it is meant to behave. It uses whatever directory is the current one when started. Usually if you start application from menu or icon it gets user's home as the current directory. If you open terminal it is set to your home directory unless you did some special settings. If you cd in the terminal somewhere and then run GRASS, it will take the current directory. Ubuntu shows recent directories in the GUI if you use the cd command with parameters in the GUI Command Console (not different behavior for cd in the real command line). For terminal you can make an aliases for cds to you favorite directories. In theory, GRASS GIS could remember the last directory used but it would be inconsistent with behavior will all the other tools. It might be more applicable for GUI but there it might be better to remember several recently used directories rather than change the default in the file dialog. You can open a ticket [1] to suggest this improvement and discuss it more. Vaclav [1] https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/
