148027 - Failure of download dialog to appear/download manager

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155426

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:

Problem: occassionally the file save dialog will NOT appear and selecting the
download manager will not bring that tool up either.  The download occurs, and a
file is deposited in the last selected download directory with the cache file
"raw" name.

I have not been able to reproduce this bug UNTIL it has started to occur, at
which point every download attempt proceeds in the above stated manner.

I have tried:
exiting Mozilla, restarting and retrying the last download link, at which point
it behaves normally again until whatever it is triggering this bug occurs again.

IIRC this happened with rc2 as well, but not with rc1 or earlier milestone builds.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

subsequent successful file transfers where dialogs fail to appear/download tool
fails to load and where files are successfully transferred to last target folder
but have "raw" cache name do NOT appear in the download manager after quitting
and restarting.

My last successful download listed in the download manager tool prior to when
this happened was Palm's OSX desktop software from the Palm site.

J, try using a new Mozilla user profile and let us know if you still see this
problem.

-> Download Manager.

J., does this happen after you use the "Reset" button in
Preferences/Navigator/Helper Applciations/Opening Files?

Actually, I think he means that downloads aren't appearing in the Dwonload
Manager, in which case this is a dup.
