I have a German installation and it is the Optionen -> Pfade -> Arbeitsverzeichnis -> Standard
In your side note you have described my issue. For some reasons (maybe a faulty app has created it) I have the folder ~/Dokumente and ~/Documents. So unlike in your Spanish example it does not pick "/home/username" as fallback, it picks "/home/username/Documents where I do not have a Natilus shortcut for and so almost hidden. I had a bief look into the source https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/blob/b5867945d67dba505d0629e5e41fdc52bc78bfee/shell/source/backends/desktopbe/desktopbackend.cxx#L245 And it looks like using "xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS" is intended. It is done by accessing directly the "~/.config/user-dirs.dirs" file. Maybe it fails somewhere? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792017 Title: wrong default working dir Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The default working dir is hard coded to ~/Documents I had to redo my saved work, because I have assumed it was lost in ~/Dokumente I have now fixed this by changing the working directory manually. The default working dir should be changed to "xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS" that other users so not suffer the same. I have updated from Xenial and never experienced these issues.
