Currently the browser resets whenever the user clicks Save. All entries are collapsed and the user has to navigate to the work folders again - and again - and again.

don't reload the whole browser model when the project home changes (fixes #7520)

This is a regression.

QgsBrowserDockWidget::showEvent() has the following code, which is responsible:

    connect( QgsProject::instance(), SIGNAL( readProject( const QDomDocument & ) ), mModel, SLOT( reload() ) );
    connect( QgsProject::instance(), SIGNAL( writeProject( QDomDocument & ) ), mModel, SLOT( reload() ) );
    connect( QgisApp::instance(), SIGNAL( newProject() ), mModel, SLOT( reload() ) );

This means that browser is reload when reading/saving/creating project.

This is to ensure the "Project home" entry is created. However, one has to wonder why reload() needs to be triggered on all these.

Fix to this would be one of

1) create "Project home" item without calling reload() - this could be in a new slot setHome() instead of reload()
2) save open items and re-open them, which is probably more involved.

I am adding Jurgen as watcher, as he is the author of this feature, implemented in 73dc9b19be9e156328261f5416c58e2dba09cdf7
"Include project home in browser toplevel browser (implement #6955)"

attaching a patch which attempts to fix this bug. However, it is buggy and probably just needs a simple fix. Maybe Jurgen has an idea.

It works if project folder is not opened before project is changed.

I get a crash after saving project, this happens if you open the project home folder in browser, close it and save project in another dir.

Also, I think it would be better to use running directory as default project home, instead of $HOME (which is available as second root item anyway)
