Custom dictionary is created in current directory

When I add a word to the custom dictionary in my app, CEF creates the dictionary file ("Custom Dictionary.txt") in the same directory where my executable lives. This causes problems, because in user installations that directory isn't typically writable. I was expecting the dictionary to follow the same guidelines specified for the user_data_path setting (i.e., use user_data_path if set, or use "Local Settings\Application Data\CEF\User Data" if not set). Am I misunderstanding how this works or does it sound like a bug?

I also noticed this. Looks like a bug.
Related code sources in Chromium and CEF:
1.
https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/ch ... e.cc?l=1092.
https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef ... l.cc#L10613.
https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef ... _context.hLooks like CEF needs to pass a special type of BrowserContext in 2) in which GetPath() method will return user data directory.
