150145 - no download window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 115819

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 (Macintosh; U; PPC)
BuildID:    2002053008

I had CSWB T1.0 based on MOZ 0.9.7. It displays a download window.
I just installed MOZ 1.0 Alpha/OpenVMS, it does download but I have no window 
(and the file downloaded is not the one I requested, but this is another story. I 
need to investigate this one before reporting a bug, if it is one. For the 
record, I'm doing the same download via CSWB T1.0 and I have the window and I 
have the right file).

Thanks,

D.

http://wasd.vsm.com.au/wasd gives me:

ERROR 404  -  The requested resource could not be found.

Do you have a URL which exists where I can try to reproduce this problem?

I suspect this is the same as bug 115819. When you click on the file to
download, do you get a box pop up which gives the cryptic message 'You have
chosen to download a file of type: "#1" [#2]'? Is you do, then this is certainly
bug 115819.

Bug 115819 describes what I believe is a timing bug somewhere in the download
code. The bug comes and goes but for some reason it shows up a lot more on
OpenVMS than any other platform.

As a workaround, shift-click on the file to download. This should immediately
take you to the "save as" dislog.

Didier, can you confirm that you are seeing the 'You have chosen to download a
file of type: "#1" [#2]' dialog when this problem occurs?

Didier confirmed via email that he does indeed get the 'You have chosen to
download a file of type: "#1" [#2] from' dialog. Marking dup.

Didier, I think I've found and fixed this problem. Where can I copy a new
shareable to for you to try?
