            Bug ID: 121220
           Summary: Writer by default prefers ~/Documents instead of
                    current directory
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.2.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: hi-angel at yandex.ru

Upon using "Save as" option, writer prompts to save in ~/Documents instead of
the current directory. This is very confusing, as people more often than not
keep their documents in more specific locations (E.g. ~/Documents/taskX), and
it makes more sense to open up the dialog in the same directory where the
currently opened document is.

# Steps to reproduce

1. Execute in terminal "cd /tmp/ && touch foo.txt && lowriter ./foo.txt"
2. In Writer press menu "File → Save as" (a window will pop up)

## Expected

The window is opened in /tmp/

## Actual

The window is opened in ~/Documents/ instead.
