User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008053008 Firefox/3.0 Build Identifier: version 3.0a2pre (2008060803) Sometimes when I detach a file, it saves an empty copy of a different file. Its intermittent, and the filename used for the different file was - on the most recent occasion - the same as a file I'd opened earlier. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open message 2.Ctrl-click attached file / Detach 3.Choose location, 4.Look in that location - file isn't there, but another file is (sometimes 0k) This is intermittent, but I've seen it multiple times. Once it has happened, then it will repeat consistently on trying to re-detach the same file. If I close TB and re-open it, then I can detach the same file without any problems.

This bug is still in 3.0b1pre (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1a2pre) Gecko/2008080300 Shredder/3.0b1pre) Its pretty bad - caused data loss this time, as the reuse of a previous filename meant it detached a zero byte file over something else important. This is bad enough (because of the data loss) that if this wasn't a beta I would have dumped it and gone back to another mail program .

I've attached a screen capture, clearly showing an attempt to detach the wrong file - notice the dialog box at the top, and the completely different attachment name at the bottom. The name given (ATT00038.htm) was the name of the last file detached (successfully).

Just to clarify, if I'd hit "OK" in response to this dialogue it would have overwritten the previous ATT00038.htm file with a zero-byte file causing dataloss of that file.

Any particular message it happens with? Attach a copy as .eml if it's reproducible.

It doesn't seem to be specific to a message, but to be a state that Shredder gets into, i.e. if I exit and reload Shredder it works. - Mitra

I'm running (almost) nightly updates - currently Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091212 Shredder/3.0.1pre and I've seen it recently (within last week or so). Not sure what "final release is" but happy to switch if that is more recent than the nightlies (send URL)

This looks very much like an instance of bug 533921, which was fixed some months after comment 10, so we can safely close this as a duplicate. Furthermore, lots of more recent changes by Jim to the attachment pane (xbl bindings etc.), so anything which still occurs after that probably deserves a new bug.
