Public bug reported:

When I try to print an email to a PDF by selecting the "Print to File"
option in the Print dialog, the PDF file is always saved to my home
folder even if I select "Desktop" or "Documents" in the "Save in folder"
drop-down list.

However, if I choose "Other..." from the drop-down, and pick the desired
destination folder, this time the PDF is correctly saved in the choosen
folder.

I tested the Print dialog with GEdit and it does not have this problem.
I noticed, though, that in that application, there's no "Save in folder"
drop-down list but only a "File:" button that, when clicked, allows me
to browse for the desired folder and type in the output file name, so
the mechanics are a little different there.
