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. Is it a kind of regression?

Can you please elaborate by what you mean by "the default working dir"?
A side note (might be related): without any previous libreoffice profile directory (in a clean VM), I changed the locale to Spanish, restarted the session and ran libreoffice, and in the "Options > Paths" settings, the path to "my documents" is set to "/home/username", instead of "/home/ username/ Documents" when the locale is French (my default, and it happens that "Documents" is the exact same word in English and French).
