Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Joni Lehto]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1 (MOOX M2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1 (MOOX M2)

When saving an image from a web page to a directory which already contains a
file with the same name, Firefox asks 

"<filename> already exists.
Do you want to replace it?
[Yes] [No]"

This dialog window doesn't have an option to be closed by pressing Alt-F4 or Esc
or clicking the cross in the upper right corner of the dialog window. The cross
is gray, not active.

This should be corrected so that all the abovementioned ways of closing the
window would work and act exactly like pressing No, just like they work in the
previous "Save image to location" window as if Cancel would have been clicked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a web page with a picture.
2. Click the image with the secondary mouse button and choose Save Image As.
3. Select a directory to save the image and save it by clicking Save.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3.
5. In the following dialog, try pressing Alt-F4 or Esc or clicking the cross in
the upper right corner of the dialog window. The window should close but it does
not.
6. Close the window leaving the file intact by clicking No.
7. You'll return to the previous dialog window. Try pressing Alt-F4 or Esc or
clicking the cross in the upper right corner of the dialog window. The window
closes normally, unlike the replace confirmation dialog window.

Actual Results:  
Save Image dialog window closes when pressing Alt-F4 or Esc or clicking the
cross in the upper right corner of the dialog window. Save Image replace
confirmation dialog window does not.

Expected Results:  
Save Image replace confirmation window should be closable by any normal means
like the Save Image dialog window, including pressing Alt-F4 or Esc or clicking
the cross in the upper right corner of the dialog window.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

The bug is still in Mozilla Firefox 1.5.1. I changed the component of this bug report to be about Keyboard Navigation, though the problem also includes that the X in the upper right hand corner of the window is unclickable.

This bug should be very easy to fix so I hope this would get fixed without any further delay. The bug is very silly so I can't really understand how it has been even left unfixed in the first place.

Confirmed in last night's nightly build.  However, despite the assumptions of the original reporter, this is not "very easy to fix".    The "replace file" confirmation dialog is a platform-specific native dialog (on Windows it's the standard MessageBox), and therefore we have very little control over it.  I don't know why it's not responding to ALT-F4 or escape, or why the close button is dimmed out, but I doubt there's anything we can do to fix it in Firefox code.

For the record, this is not an accessibility issue, since both the Yes and No buttons are keyboard-navigable.  (No one claimed it was; this is just for my records.)

I verified that Internet Explorer seems to be suffering from the same problem. Is there a possibility to use some else way for image saving in Firefox, or would someone of you possibly know how this should be reported to Microsoft so that they could fix it in a future version or update of Windows at least?

Not a Firefox bug, since that's the way every Windows app works (and, sorry, but we don't have any secret way in to reporting bugs to Microsoft).
