Thanks for your patience, Heiko.

I think I can now identify where the problem occurs: it's happening when
LibreOffice is opened generally from the menu, rather than starting LibreOffice
from the command line.

If I use a menu icon to launch LO, or if I click on a file in the file browser
(Nautilus 3.38.2, on the Gnome window manager), then the directory of the
selected file does NOT show in the File Open dialog.

I've created a test file, test1.odt, in a test directory ~/test.
When I click on test1.odt from Nautilus, LO launches with the file open.  Then
when I click on File Open, it shows as in the attach file
LO_from_window_manager.png . The local directory (~/test) is NOT shown in the
File Open dialog box.

If instead I go to the ~/test directory in a terminal and launch LibreOffice
from the command line with
   $ soffice
(even without specifying the file) and then select File Open, in this case the
File Open dialog does show the test directory. Shown in attachment
LO_from_command_line.png.

In both cases the default directory selected in the Open dialog is still some
past working directory, which is also annoying but is a different problem.
