Bug#951111: libreoffice: it is impossible to saveas in a directory unless it is a leaf directory
Dear Rene,
just some more info:
1. it is not tied to icewm, the same happens with openbox
2. it has nothing to do with libreoffice configuration, libreoffice behaves the same after
removing .config/libreoffice
3. it has nothing to do with the graphic card, I have different graphic cards at home and
at work and the same ill behaviour at both places.
I know each of these was rather improbable, but I wanted to rule them out.
If you have suggestions for further tests, please provide them.
Thank you,
best wishes
Fulvio
