233785 - Most attachment names not shown in compose window's attachment panel

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 233832

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040210

Adding an attachment to a message seems to result in that attachment's name not 
being displayed -- unless the filename includes a space.  The expected icon is 
displayed, and the tooltip is shown correctly.

Dragging an email from a folder to the compose window also has its name hidden, 
even if the mail comes from a a folder with a space in the name.

Save to Drafts, then examine the message in the Drafts folder, and the filename 
is displayed.  Edit the draft, the name continues to be displayed.

(Saving an draft with a message dragged into the attachment box crashes; bug 
report coming up.)

Crash symptom is bug 233787.

Using  Forward As Attachment, the subject of the attached message is displayed 
as the filename.

The symptom of the original report is displayed for files attached via dragging, 
browsing or Simple MAPI (i.e, from Windows Explorer's file context menu, 
Send To | Mail Recipient)

This is from latest check-in of bug 229872.

Interestingly, bug 190812 describes a problem with attachment names with spaces 
in them.  I don't know if that's in any way related to this problem.

Dup of bug 233832?

Comment 5

Yep, I'd say so.  I wonder if bug 233787 is also fixed by the backed-out patch 
described in the dupe.  I won't be getting a new build before the weekend, but 
I'll check it out then.
