192803 - If you create a file with a semicolon in the filename, it does not handle the save correctly.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 192765

(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
