306578 - Inconsistency between Save As dialog for messages and attachments

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Ramage]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Selecting Save As for a message produces a different dialog box than that used
when saving an attached file.  For consistency they should use the same dialog box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open a message and select Save As
2.  Double click an attachment and select Save As
3.  Observe the different dialog boxes used.

Actual Results:  
Each Save AS command uses a different dialog box, and they are sorted
differently.  If I had to guess, I would say that the attachment dialog is the
system dialog box, whereas the Save As for individual messages uses the Mozilla
one. Note the different sort order.  (One is case sensitive, the other not.)

Expected Results:  
The same dialog should be presented in either case, and the sort order (case
sensitvity) should be consistent.

Could you provide a screenshot as to what you're talking about? The dialogs
appear to be the same to me.

No response from reporter, and I don't see a difference either.
