332137 - Dragging attachment with non-ASCII name to desktop results in wrong name

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

With trunk versions, when an attachment with any non-ASCII name is dragged to the desktop, the file is dragged but it is given the wrong name.

With TB 3a1-0316, -0327 and -0329, the attachment name is the same as the message's subject.  This is true with multibyte characters or simple ISO-8859-1 accented characters.  (Branch builds handle the ISO-8859-1 names without a problem, but not the multibyte names: bug 332117.)

With Seamonkey 1.5a-0220, the attachment name is correct for ISO-8859-1 names, but multibyte-chars are replaced with '_' (similar to bug 234681).  I'll test further with an up-to-date Seamonkey trunk as soon as today's trunk build is up on mozilla.org.

Maybe this is two different bugs, given the divergence of symptoms.

No, this is wrong: it gets the name of the message's *folder*.

Seamonkey 1.5a-0329 behaves just as Thunderbird does, so the symptom seen with 1.5a-0220 has been changed in core.

This was fixed on the trunk by the patch for bug 358657.
