Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 298478

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[William T Byron Jr.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050624

Starting with nightly 20050623 you cannot just click on a file to download you
have to hold the shift key down and click on the file to bring up the download
manager and start the process of downloading. If I just do a normal click I get
a zero byte file in my temp directory and the suite just sits there and does
nothing. No problem downloading with same build number of Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mozilla.org or anyplace that has files to download
2.go to downloads
3.try to down load

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens but a zero byte file in my temp directory

Expected Results:  
download manager to come up and to download file

Will work with a hold shift key down click on file
