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
