Bug Description

Evince now allows to "edit" PDF files, for example, to add annotations.
Now we NEED a metu option to save the result. Currently (v. 3.1.2) there is only 'Save As' option which is really PITA to use.
For some strange reason it opens the home directory and then you have to search for the correct one. This is really really bad as I often do not known where the file is located (yes, I can find that, but WHY?).

Please add a normal 'Save' menu.

Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Still a problem in artful.

This is such a PITA, and seems like a trivial fix :(

It looks like they recently fixed it upstream. Let's see if bionic will resolve this problem.
