Right, I'm seeing the problem too. The shortcuts at the top of the list point to e.g. $HOME/snap/libreoffice/47/Documents, and that folder doesn't exist. They are the confined, unlocalized version of the XDG folders. They are not very useful, to say the least…
The shortcuts at the bottom of the list are those from the host machine, e.g. $HOME/Documents. This problem is not specific to libreoffice, other snaps that use the gtk open-file dialog have the same issue (e.g. eog). ** Summary changed: - [snap] Can not select file in file picker + [snap] Shortcuts to XDG folders are not localized and point to non-existing folders under $SNAP_USER_DATA/ ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748273 Title: [snap] Shortcuts to XDG folders are not localized and point to non- existing folders under $SNAP_USER_DATA/ Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am using: libreoffice (candidate) 6.0.0.3 from 'canonical' installed The first thing I try is to open a file, but the filepicker is freezed and can't change the folder.
