318707 - Filename containing spaces truncated after first space - loss of rest of name and ext

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221028

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Paul Herzlich]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Using Outlook Web Access, when I attempt to save an attachment, the filename is not fully conveyed to the 'save as' dialog if it contains spaces. So if the attachment is named xxxxxx yyy bbb cccc.doc, all the 'Save As' dialog gets is xxxxxx and I am forced to retype the rest. This occured on the Firefox 1 as well. This same behaviour seems to make it impossible to Open an attachment with a space in the filename because the extension is lost (yes, you can try to search for a program to open it, but you have to take note first of the extension).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into Outlook Web Access
2. Open an email with an attachment with a space in the filename
3. Click on the filename and choose to save it.


Actual Results:  
The filename in the Save As dialog has been truncated after the first space.

Expected Results:  
You should get the full filename as attached to the email, including the extension.

I was sorry to see this is not fixed in 1.5

Although I realise this is probably a 'minor' bug, it is enough to stop me using Firefox as my default browser.

This is a problem that needs to be fixed in Outlook Web Acess.
