177748 - Temp directory used for downloads created in wrong place under W2K

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 171441

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ian Beyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

When attempting a file download through download manager, it generates an error:

C:\DOCUME~1\MANUKA~1.ERW\LOCALS~1\TEMP\filename.zip could not be saved because
the source file could not be read.

This error is still generated if the permissions on the directory are correct. 

When looking in the file tree (in windows explorer), Mozilla created a directory
under C:\Documents and Settings called MANUKA~1.ERW, and another under that one
called LOCALS~1. The correct path, which it doesn't seem to be interpreting, is
C:\Documents and Settings\manuka.ERWIN\Local Settings\Temp.

Filesystem is NTFS. 

The net effect is that I can't download files that are handled by external
programs (plugins are fine, however). This appears to be new to 1.2 - it was
working for me with 1.1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a site to download something (like Phoenix, for example)
2. Click on the download link


Actual Results:  
Error message as described. 

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have downloaded the file and handled it accordingly. 

Using SkyPilot theme, does not seem to be theme-related.
