This occurs on various Android Studio versions.

Studio Build:
Version of Gradle Plugin:
Version of Gradle:
Version of Java:
OS:
Android Studio 4.0 Canary 6
Build #AI-193.2956.37.40.6052267, built on December 5, 2019
Runtime version: 1.8.0_212-release-1586-b04 amd64
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Windows 10 10.0
GC: ParNew, ConcurrentMarkSweep
Memory: 7916M
Cores: 12
Registry: ide.new.welcome.screen.force=true
Non-Bundled Plugins: String Manipulation, ignaciotcrespo.github.com.vector-drawable-thumbnails, com.mistamek.drawablepreview.drawable-preview

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new project and choose some path to create it. Example is the desktop. Meaning "... /Desktop/myApplication/".

2. Open the wizard again and see that if you would wish to indeed create a new project it will still be on this path, meaning on "... /Desktop/myApplication2/"

3. clone some project outside of the IDE (using TortoiseGit for example) to some path. Example is the desktop.
Here's a sample repository to clone:

https://github.com/android/storage-samples

4. Open some project from the cloned repository. Example in this case:
...\Desktop\storage-samples\ContentProviderPagingKotlin

5. Create a new project.

The bug:
Instead of using the path you've set specifically before, of putting apps in the desktop, now it puts the new project into the one you've opened, meaning:
"...\Desktop\storage-samples"

(Note to Valery - Initial fix was reverted as it breaks UI tests with a NullPointerEx)

@3 Can you please tell me on which version?

am...@google.com <am...@google.com> #5Jan 3, 2020 03:21PM

The fix should be included in Android Studio 4.0 Canary 7. Can you please confirm it's fixed?

@5 Seems it was fixed :)
Thank you.
Is it on stable too?

No, unfortunately it is not in 3.5-3.6 and unlikely to be included.

@7 I see. Thanks.
I hope the XML formatting issues will be fixed though.
