Save-As opens wrong folder

[JeffSeltzer]

Issue Type: Bug

Open an existing file via Explorer from a network-mounted drive (such as "\\xsjswsvm2\mpmc\sandboxes\jeffs"). File > Save As fails to open the browser window in the folder where the original file is located, like virtually all other windows applications do.

File > Save As fails to open the browser window in the folder where the original file is located,

Can you clearify what "browser window" is here, do you mean the save dialog?

[JeffSeltzer]

The Save-As dialog box,

@JeffSeltzer and does this only reproduce for files on network/UNC drive or in general?

[JeffSeltzer]

Files opened from local drives appear to work as expected. I tried a couple different files opened from network (including paths that were only about 4-5 levels deep). The default Save-As path always seems to be stuck on a path on the same network that I accessed a long time ago, and doesn't appear to vary.

Need to reproduce this.

@JeffSeltzer do you see a native file dialog or our picker dialog?

@JeffSeltzer I wonder if this is a Windows issue and we pass on the right path but Windows cannot switch to it because it is a network path. To proof that, can you debug VSCode at this point:

• Help > Developer Tools
• Sources Tab
• add a breakpoint into fileDialogService.ts#pickFileToSave
• check the options for its defaultUri to see if that is the proper path of the file (or its parent)

I tried with a UNC path to come close to a network path via https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2787203/unc-path-to-a-folder-on-my-local-computer and could not reproduce.
