1430029 - While saving a file with "Save Page As..." the name doesn't automatically change from ".<filename>" to "<file name>"

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect, P3)

Description

[Oana Botisan, Desktop QA]

[Affected versions]:
- Latest Nightly 59.0a1
- beta 59.ob15
- Firefox 57.0.4

[Affected platforms]:
- Window 10 x64
- Ubuntu 16.04 x64

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Open http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf
2. Right-click -> Save Page As...
3. In the pop-up rename the file ".test".

[Expected result]:
- The file is saved as "test".

[Actual result]:
- [Windows] The name is saved as ".test"
- [Ubuntu] The file is saved as ".test" and it's a hidden file.

[Regression range]:
- I don't this is a regression, because this behaviour is reproducible even on older versions of Nightly from 2012-11-09. I think this might have been a problem since the option of "Save Page As..." was introduced.

[WHR]

Why does the file should be saved as "test" when I name it ".test"? (eg. if I want it to be hidden)

It was a follow-up for bug 1402279, more exactly to the comment 26 from bug 1402279.
