            Bug ID: 127730
           Summary: .tmp files are being created in the document's own
                    folder, not in the directory specified in
                    "options/Paths"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jepe at cspv.hu

Description:
since not so long ago this thing began, 
.tmp files keep appearing in the current document's folder..

document: .ODT files

the [random-string].temp files can be opened through "open", and 
I can find earlier versions of the current document...
(the random strings are not simply random)




Steps to Reproduce:
1. this is the difficult part...
2. yesterday I fixed it by adding a new temp dir in options/paths, yesterday it
worked, today it doesn't... or rather, it works for one of the two documents in
the same folder...
3.

Actual Results:
time and again, .tmp files start appearing in the current document's folder..

Expected Results:
I'd expect it to work normally :) (sorry, I just had to write something in this
box in order to be allowed to submit the form)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Linux mint, 19
hard drive FREE space in home dir: 7Gb
free space in "file system": 10Gb
within the tmp folder file manager NEmo shows: 10Gb free space
config files location: home/.config/libreoffice

within that:
4
backup-new    <-- this is where I'd like Libreoffice to store the backup files
      // yes, clicking on the directory set in options/paths/Backups, it will
open..., backup-new will open, but there's only one file in it... from august..

temp dir: 
/tmp/libreoffice

within that, there are 3 files, all generated today...
one of them is the document which I'm currently working on, which is the only
open document at this moment...


still, 
there are 3 .tmp files in the current document's own folder...
being the saved copies of the same document which I'm working on :)

2 of the 3 .tmp files cannot be opened, "coprrupt", should liibreoffice attempt
to fix it? yes.. --> result: blank file

file sizes: 0, 17, 46 kb... only the last one opened...
the copy of the current document I'm working on..

since last night, my computer had been restarted completely

USER PROFILE resetted, in safe mode, when entering safe mode, I checked 
BOTH rebuild ... last working ... and rebuild something alst working state..

right now, tmp file is being generated where it is supposed to..
BUT even 10 minutes ago it was like that..
howerer, last night, 3 tmp files were created in the current document's
folder..
which happened HOURS after I redefined temp folder and restarted Libreoffice
and made sure it worked...

I know, it is too complicated..
I don't expect this to be solved anytime soon..

my intention with this report is mainly to let you know of this strange
behavior..
