276171 - Mouse fails to work when "Save Page As to existing filename

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 277837

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Gary A. Tucker]

When saving the plain text of Salon or Slate magazines to Salon.html or
Slate.html, the mouse does not work on the dialog that asks if you want to
"Cancel" or "Replace" the existing file. Only <Esc> and <space> will work in the
dialog, and only when the mouse is not on the button. This is in both the latest
build of Mozilla (20041227) and Firefox (20041227 Firefox/1.0+ (PowerBook)).

The page in the URL field requires a registration.

Is there a publically available page that shows the problem?  If so, what are
the exact steps to reproduce?  Based on your comment it sounds like you're
saving as plaintext, but then why are you naming the files .html?

The Slate page, while having a MIME type of "text" is really html. I download
both pages so that I can use Plucker to put them on my Palm for offline reading.
Sorry about the registration on the Salon page, but these were the two I had
experience with at the time I posted the bug.

The problem seems to be any time you save an object over something with the same
name. I've seen it happen with bzip & gzip files, Mac dmg files, and PDFs. The
file type does not seem to matter.

Take for example the xcolor package for LaTeX.  Go to
http://www.ukern.de/tex/xcolor.html
Download xcolor.dtx.gz, and then try to download again to the same place.
