If Open Office stores a file in the File System/TMP directory, it crashes and loses the File

Bug Description

Upon looking for Downloaded files, they can be found in
the "Filesystem / TMP" directory.

This fools one into believing that this Folder can be used.

If I store an Open Office File there, then O/O seems to be OK with
it - but the machine crashes heavily sometime later (auto save
is on).

After the crash, I find out the hardway that the file is lost
("File Cannot Be recovered" error arises upon request for
File Recovery).

If I try to reopen the file it says the "File cannot be found",
despite the numerous apparently successful saves, before
the Crash occurred.

This can be avoided, but it shows that there
is a File Integrity problem going on.

Thanks
Ken
