Title:
  [Upstream] Never let users save in /tmp by default

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Unknown
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When you download something and choose to open it in LibreOffice, it
  will be saved in /tmp. If you choose Save As, the default saving
  location will be in /tmp.

  I just lost a partly written exam that way. I thought it was on my
  Desktop, but oh no, it was in /tmp and after rebooting it's now gone.

  The suggestion is to NEVER let /tmp be the default folder in the Save
  dialog, and to ALWAYS warn the user if saving something there.
