The 'Save As' menu of xconfig is not working; it always saves the kernel configuration into the default file irrespective of the file chosen in the dialog box. The 'Save' menu always writes into the default file, but it would make more sense to write into the file previously chosen by 'Load' or 'Save As'.

The 'save as' may be used for out-of-tree kernel config saves, but the default 'save' should always save to the in-tree .config file, as before (and for the past 10+ years..) If the kernel config was loaded from an out-of-tree location, it now saves back to that out-of-tree location, which is useless for the kernel compile..
I have always kept my hardware/system-specific kernel configs out-of-tree, and then applied them in-tree before compiling.
Now, I have to use 'save as' and type in the entire in-tree path (/usr/src/linux-5.1/.config) each time, in order to apply the specific config to the kernel, ready for compilation.
