Description Ian Collier 2007-02-20 17:50:41 UTC
Description of problem:

When printing to File (in OpenOffice Writer) it's possible to type in the name
of a folder to save to.  If I type "/tmp" then it still saves to whatever folder
was previously selected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gtk2-2.10.8-1.fc6
openoffice.org-writer-2.0.4-5.5.10

How reproducible:
Almost always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start oowriter
2. Press File -> Print
3. Select Print to File
4. Type in a file name (test.ps); select Postscript
5. Next to "Save in folder", select "Other..."
6. If the Location field doesn't already show, press the "Type in a file name"
button on the top left
7. Type "/tmp" in the Location field.  Note that it auto-completes with a
trailing slash.  Doesn't seem to matter whether or not I delete the trailing slash.
8. Press Open.  Note that "Save in folder" now says "tmp".
9. Press Print
  
Actual results:
File is saved in my home directory

Expected results:
File should be saved in /tmp
