Started soffice as 'root' user and created a text document in /root/Documents folder. Closed and reopened the file again. Now deleted the 'Documents' folder from 'root'. Now ran soffice again and clicked 'File->Open'. It immediately popped an error message "/root/Documents does not exist'. Clicked 'OK'. It agained popped the same error message. Clicked 'OK' again. Now it displayed 'Open' dialog box. Try to click the button to navigate previous folder and it doesn't work. Try to create a folder, it doesn't work. The only thing that you could do here is to type some available folder in the 'File Name' option and you could now navigate to that folder.
reassigend to jw i will have a look on this issue
i can not confirm this here, if i follow your advice and reopen OOo after deleting the directory it just jumps to the default home directory. tested on suse 8.2 set to wfm
wfm -> closed
