280189 - File dialog should use case insensitive sorting

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Fabio Gomes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)

The File Open and File Save dialogs (and probably other dialogs that handle
files) sort file names in case-sensitive manner. It should be case-insensitive
by default. This happens in Linux and probably in other UNIX ports too.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Save As... dialog and sort stuff by name

Actual Results:  
Sorting is case-sensitive

Expected Results:  
Should be case-insensitive

This was an issue with the obsolete XUL file selector (used in Fx 1.0 on UNIX).
Firefox 1.1 and Mozilla 1.8 will be using the new native GTK 2.x GtkFileChooser,
which has case-insensitive sorting. 

Check out the nightly builds.
