I can confirm this, after spending half an hour explaining to someone why an email atchment saved from thunderbird isnt there now.
This should probably be marked a dupe of the bug linked to above, but filed against both packages.

description |
1. Open a document from the web (say from a web-based email site).
2. Edit the document, save changes.
3. Shut down the computer.
4. Turn the computer back on ... your file is gone!
This is a very common problem, I have seen tens of persons saving to /tmp/.
I think it should be fixed in OpenOffice.org save as dialog. When the "File: Save as" dialog is shown:
1) Check if "Save in folder" is /tmp/ or /var/tmp/
2) If yes, change the "Save in folder" to $HOME
In Evince pdf document viewer, it is already solved like this. In the highly unlikely (imposible?) case that user wants to store a document under /tmp, he is free to navigate to that directory. It is most important to correct this in OpenOffice - more than 95% saves in /tmp/ I have seen are done with OpenOffice. This bug is also filed against Firefox, I copied the reproduce steps from bug #15179.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'openoffice'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu. |
