Confirmed on Win 2k and Xp using the 01-28 trunk build.

What file are you editing? A local file? A remote (http) file? Please give an
example.
My tree is up to date as of 1/25 and doesn't show any problem.

This problem seems to happen when either editing a webpage and then saving it 
locally, or when creating a new file and trying to save it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch browser and navigate to http://mozilla.org
2. Hold down CTRL - E to bring up page in Composer
3. Make a change to the page to bring up the Save icon on the toolbar
4. Click on Save icon on toolbar
5. Choose a filename and location, and click on Save
6. Receive message "Saving file failed!"

Or:
1. Launch Composer and open a new document
2. Make a change to the page to bring up the Save icon on the toolbar
3. Click on Save icon on toolbar
4. Choose a title, filename and location, and click on Save
5. Receive message "Saving file failed!"


Note:
I don't see this problem on the 01-25 build or any build earlier.

I agree -- exactly as Sujay has described, and it doesn't occur previous to 
today.

[Pete Boyd]

Charles, I thought my original post was example enough, just open composer
(Tasks -> Composer), type something and save to a local partition.

I don't see this on a 0.9.8 branch build (2002012806)

BUILD 2002012903

Tested against two files.  Both files tested on Local and Network file system.

Save of changes via composer failed in all four cases.

I do not see this problem since the latest patch to bug 109179 was checked in.
The problem was that getting the URL string from nsIFile or nsILocalFile had the
format "file://..." rather than "file:///..."
This was breaking nsWebBrowserPersist::SaveDocumentInternal().
because we weren't constructing the proper aDataDir URI object.
Sujay has tested Mac and Linux platforms.

This problem appears to have been fixed by patch to bug 109179.
I am not seeing this problem anymore on the 01-30 trunk builds using Win ME, Win
Xp, Mac OS9 or Mac OSX.

Verified.
