192765 - If you create a file with a semicolon in the filename, it does not handle the save correctly.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Brad Silva]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830

(From composer) If you create a file with the name "test;bad.html", it will
create the file and save the data.  However, subsequent saves produce the file
"test".  

Furthermore, if you are working on two files: "test;bad.html" and
"test;verybad.html", each save will overwrite the file "test" with no warning.

Suggest

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See details.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
See details.

Expected Results:  
Either complained about the semicolon in the filename (preffered).  Or,
correctly created the file.

I strongly suggest you disallow the semicolon in filenames.  It can be done, but
it will also cause problems with shell scripts, etc, that try to manipulate the
file.

Thanks,
Brad

Is this a problem on _trunk_, or just on the 1.0 branch?

I can't seem to reproduce the problem in the Linux 2003-02-12-10 trunk build.
Reporter,please try with a newer release.

I've just tried to duplicate this on Mozilla 1.2.1 and it appears that this has
indeed been previously fixed.

My appologies.
Please close this ticket.

Thanks for the software,
Brad
