252630 - Drag/drop attachment from mail message to desktop locks Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246051

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[Doron Shikmoni]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616

When openning a mail item with a file attachment, holding and dragging the file
from the attachment pane to the desktop, Mozilla spits an error message dialog
and locks up (all windows). The error message can't be acked ("OK").

A way to get out of the deadlock is to use Windows' dialog off the taskbar and
kill the *other* open Mozilla windows (except the one with the mail item). This
allows one to ack the error message and then recover.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a mail item with an attachment
2 [review]. Drag the attachment file line to the Windows desktop
3.

Actual Results:  
Error message dialog which can't be acked. All Mozilla windows locked - no
action possible.

Expected Results:  
Not lock.

Comment 2

[Doron Shikmoni]

The description above is partial; apologies. Some more important info:

1. The file name is in Hebrew (aka non latin, i18n, bidi).

2. The error message says:
"Unable to save the attachment. Please check your file name and try again later."
(umm, try later??...)

...and yes - caught Mike's q in midair - it is a dupe. Sorry - my search was not
good enough and didn't pick it up. Resolving.
