Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 408923

(Toolkit :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Dom B]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0

I use Scite Text Editor on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 to view pages' source code, but the bug appears with other text editors as well.
When I go to http://o0t.de/share/, and then try and View Source, an empty file opens up, because the path contains the » from the document's title, and there seems some problem with the character encoding.

Just give it a try, you'll see what I mean immediately.
Additionally, here is a screenshot:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://o0t.de/share/
2.View Source with an external editor
3.The special characters in the temporary file path aren't parsed properly.
Actual Results:  
An empty file is created

Expected Results:  
It should open the actual source code.

I really don't see a workaround, so I am labelling this as a major issue, since it's not possible to read source codes.
On Windows, however, this feature works fine.

Reproduced at http://mozilla-russia.org/ with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008010104 Minefield/3.0b3pre

Works for me with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

Seems like bug 408923, resolving as duplicate of it. Thanks.
