I first noticed this in a local build of commit 51735e69 (2020-07-30)
on debian-buster.  The bibisect result is from bibisect-linux-64-6.4
on the same system, using (a copy of) the user profile from my local
build.

Note that I see the problem only with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 and only
when using LibreOfficeDev dialogs; system dialogs do not have the
problem.

I see the problem with Save-As from Calc and Writer; I have not tried
other applications.

(0) Make your LibreOffice use LibreOffice dialogs:

      - Menu Tools > Options... . Program presents dialog "Options -
        ... - User Data".

      - In left pane, click General.  Program presents dialog
        "Options - ... - General"

      - Ensure that "Open/Save Dialogs" > "Use LibreOfficeDev dialogs"
        is checked.  Save this change if necessary.

(1) Start Calc.  LibreOffice presents Calc window "Untitled 1"

(2) Menu options File > "Save As...". LibreOffice presents dialog
    "Save as".  The directory named is your home Documents directory.

        good : The middle pane shows the directories and files in your
               home Documents directory.

        bad  : The directory name is selected (i.e., reverse-image),
               the list is empty, and the first (blank) item in the
               list is selected.

(3) Change directory name to /tmp and press <Enter>.

        good : The middle pane shows the directories and files in /tmp/.

        bad : The middle pane is empty , and the first (blank) item in
              the list is selected.


The bibisect shows:

          commit    s-h       date
    good  4b4ebe2d  93a641d2  2019-10-29 12:20:10
    bad   5d1baf3f  09e3d45c  2019-10-29 12:58:47

I am setting priority minor because (*) the problem only appears in
specific conditions (*)the problem is grossly obvious, (*) the user
may be able to complete the save without the list, and (*) an easy
(albeit not obvious) workaround is to use system dialogs for
Open/save.

I am setting keywords corruptProfile, bibisected, bisected,
regression, and I am setting blocks: GTK3.

Any advice about how to localize the problem within the user profile
would be welcome.
