Public bug reported: In the LibreOffice Tools→Options→LibreOffice→Paths dialog the following occurs. Select Templates , then select Edit… Select Add… and add a path which is not the home directory. The path added is /home/<user>, irrespective of the path selected.
This appears to be an instance of upstream bug https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55323, which describes the same behaviour *when the LibreOffice dialogs are not used* (See comment 6 "…I just found out that this bug only occurs if I don't use the LibreOffice dialogs for opening and saving files…." The impact is that there appears to be no way of setting any path to anything other than the installation defaults. Ubuntu is 12.10, LibreOffice is Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2)), desktop is gnome-session-fallback 3.6.0-0ubuntu1 ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: libreoffice path paths -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085310 Title: LibreOffice paths dialog always sets /home/user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1085310/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
