"Print to File" in internet browsers doesn't save to any of the default displayed folders , file is saved to Home folder

[Doug McMahon]

Test case:
open firefox > File > Print
Choose "Print to File"
In the "Save in Folder" dropdown choose Documents, file is saved to Home folder

Repeat except in dropdown choose "Other"
From other menu choose Documents, file is correctly saved to Documents

Same is seen in Chromium

The print-to-file functionality has nothing to do with CUPS, it is directly done by the print dialog. Moving ...

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
