Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112180

Description

[Mark Leverson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

This problem seems to have shown up in Mozilla 1.1. I previously worked in
Mozilla 1.0.0. It also doesn't work in Mozilla 1.2b. When you push the choose
button in the download window you can choose the helper App but after that
things hang and there is no button to download presented. I looks like the
download is started but never completes. You have to quit the browser to get the
download window to close.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start a download.
2.Push the choose button.
3.Select a helper App.

Actual Results:  
Things hang up at this point.

Expected Results:  
Presented a Download buton to push.

Downloading a PDF and choosing Preview worked for me, Mac OS X 10.1.5, Mozilla
2002103011.
Mark, can you reproduce this error with a new profile?

Comment 3

[Mark Leverson]

Bryan, Yes, this can be reproduced with a new profile. It also happens when
choosing Stuffit Expander 6.5 and 7.0, to decompress the downloaded file. This
has nothing to do with pdf. Try .sit or .hqx.

Is this the problem that the OK and Cancel buttons on that dialog get hidden
because the path to the helper app is long?

Comment 5

[Mark Leverson]

Greg,  That is a possibility. Everything else seems normal but the download
button is missing.

Comment 6

[Mark Leverson]

Greg, This is exactly the case. I moved the helper app directly to the HD and
the function works. The button was partially uncovered. When the buttons are
covered hitting enter starts the process. You where right about it saying ok and
cancel also.

Comment 7

[Greg K.]

This should work for you now, mark. The "Open with" path in the Opening dialog
has been changed to a single-line text field, so it will no longer push the OK
and Cancel buttons downward below the window boundary. Please retest using a
current nightly and let us know.

Long since fixed.  Try 1.3b.  ;)
