Bug Description
The directory I use for LibreOffice documents, "Libreoffice," is symlinked from another partition into ~/Documents. When I open the Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Paths and click on My Documents and then Edit..., and try to select ~/Libreoffice, when I click "Ok," the selection returns to ~/, which is NOT what I want.
This is the case for ALL the subdirectories within the symlinked Libreoffice directory, which means LO never finds eg, my templates.
This very frustrating bug has been in LO for the last six months at least. I am sure I joined a bug report back then but it's disappeared.
