If you place the following three lines in your ~/.vimrc, vim will never
use /tmp
set backupdir=~/.vim/backup
set viewdir=~/.vim/views
set directory=~/.vim/swap
and also make sure that those directories exist:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/{backup,views,swap}
The behavior you cite in your bug report is the default functionality of
the software and it is functioning as the author intended. This is not
a bug. The configuration that I spoke of is how you change that default
behavior.
** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
