(This bug report unfortunately didn't get any response at the time.)
I can confirm that this odd behaviour is still present in Emacs 28. It
seems like a bug to me -- the prompt says "Write file: ~/Documents/",
but hitting RET insists on writing to `default-directory' in the buffer.
I don't use ido-mode for files normally -- are there any ido users here
that do? If so, does this seem like expected behaviour to you?
