Hello Sebastien.
I don't understand why the description of the bug seems unclear to you, but
I explain again
(actually I think this bug is already fixed, but check me since I am not
sure):
After deleting the auto-generated folders in the user home directory like :
Templates, Videos, Pictures, Documents (not sure about the exact names),
restarting the computer and recreating them, the ubuntu system won't
recognise them, especially the Templates folder as the folders to look up
for templates and other files...
The solution for this bug, is to edit the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file and
modify the directories
to match the formerly deleted directories.

Thanks for your bother !
