Save/export doesn't remember working folder

I'm using premiere elements 2023 and find it annoying the save/export window doesn't remember the folder I have exported other parts of the same project to. Even after saving to project itself to a specific folder, it reverts back to a folder used in a previous session. Only after I save, close the program and then click on the .prel file in the new folder to reopen the project does it remember this folder. Earlier versions didn't behave this way, this feels like a bug.
