[GNC] Why does "Managed Document Link" send me to the wrong directory?

I'm using GnuCash 4.12 on Ubuntu 20.04 Linux. When trying to attach a file,
the GnuCash GUI sent me to $HOME/Downloads. So I changed that to
/home/drkirkby/accounts/receipts-and-invoices. However, whenever I try to
attach a document, it starts from $HOME (/home/drkirkby/) rather than
/home/drkirkby/accounts/receipts-and-invoices. So I have to navigate to
/home/drkirkby/accounts/receipts-and-invoices each time. It's not a big
inconvenience, but I'm wondering why this is. Please see the attachments.
The numbers 1, 2 and 3 indicate the order I took the screenshots.
