(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Harry Delllicker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

When downloading an update to PC-cillin 2003, I was taken to a web page with a
link to the download file.  The link was a jpeg button image.  When I clicked on
the button, the SaveAs dialog came up as expected but the file name filled in by
the browser was "pcc2003.exe.jpg" instead of simply "pcc2003.exe"

This seems to be common to any page with a jpeg button image.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the URL listed above
2.Click on the "Download Now" button
3.Click on "Save as file" if a dialog comes up asking whether to open or save
the file.

Actual Results:  
The SaveAs dialog comes up with the name "flashplayer6installer.exe.jpg" filled
in the file name field.

Expected Results:  
The file name should not have .jpg appended to the end

I do have an application/octet-stream in my helper apps.  It is set to open jpg
files with photoshop.exe

Sorry about that.  I looked but did not see the earlier bug report.
Removing the helper app entry fixed the problem.  I'm not sure how that entry
got there.  I don't recall doing anything to create it.
