Public bug reported:
Linked this report to ubuntu in general, because I discovered this
behavior in at least two applications in gnome:
1.
Open any libre office app. Go to options, paths, edit template paths.
Click "add".
Choose any path on system, in my case
"/home-shared/config/templates/startup-templates" (which holds standards
templates I sync across a number of machines)
Click ok
The path added to libre office reads "/home/markus" (my real home folder)
2.
Open arista transcoder
clieck create conversion
click on source
Select "choose directory"
Choose any directory on your system
Selected directory become my /home/markus directory again.
So it makes me believe that there is some thing wrong under the hood in
gnome or anywhere else in linux since it affects at least two
applications with the same symptoms.
