Subject: 27.0.91; default-directory launched via Dock MacOS
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 17:24:50 +0900 (JST)

I want to launch emacs via Dock or Spotlight on MacOS.

From scratch buffer on emacs 26.3, C-x C-f prompts home directory
"~/".  However, from scratch buffer on emacs 27.0.91, C-x C-f prompts
root directory "/", which is inconvenient.

When emacs 27.0.91 is started in home directory, C-x C-f prompts
"~/", as expected.

I think that C-x C-f should prompt home directory "~/" instead of root
directory "/" when emacs is launched via Dock or Spotlight.  Since
that worked good until emacs 26.3, something was changed on emacs 27.

Can you store the behavior back?  I show the recipe below to reproduce
the problem.

 $ cd; mv .emacs.d dot.emacs.d
 click emacs 27.0.91 on Dock
 C-x b *scratch*
 C-x C-f ; => Find file: /
 M-x kill-emacs

 $ ./Downloads/emacs-27.0.91/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs &
 C-x b *scratch*
 C-x C-f ; => Find file: ~/
 M-x kill-emacs

 click emacs 26.3 on Dock
 C-x b *scratch*
 C-x C-f ;=> Find file: ~/

When launched from Dock, on scratch buffer, default-directory is set to “~/“
and “/“ on 26.3 and 27.0.91, respectively.  I checked environmental variables
on 26.3 and 27.0.91 as shown below.  There is no difference, as expected.

I tested this (with Emacs 28) on Big Sur, and was unable to reproduce
it.  I vaguely seem to remember discussion about this some months ago,
so I'm going to go ahead and guess that it really has been fixed, and
I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still persists for you in
Emacs 28, please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.

I also confirmed that it is fixed on 28.0.50 running on macOS Catalina.
