(Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+]) 

Using july24 commercial build NT 4.0

There is no choose button associated with Save to Disk in the mime type
application "Downloading" dialog.  There is a choose button associated with the
"Open using" option, that button disables when Save to Disk is selected (however
the button still works to open a dialog).

1.  View a page in browser or a mail message containing a link such as 
http://client/seamonkey/launch/reviewers_guide/master_pr2.doc
2.  Click on the link.
3.  In the resulting "downloading" dialog, click the option Save to Disk. Note
there is no option to choose where on disk you wish to place the saved file.
yep, I see that on 072408 mozilla win32 bits. XPApps GUI Features I think.

aha...this is likely what i encountered when fiddling with bug 44176.

i sadly doubt this'll get fixed for beta2, so relnote2. augh.

bill, does this belong to you, or should it remain ben's?

was able to repro this on linux [branch, comm 2000.08.31.04-m17] with these
steps:

1. go to http://www.mozilla.org
2. in the Nightly Build section, click the Macintosh link (the other ones will
result in the Unknown File Type dialog --what's the bug for that?).
3. in the resulting Download dialog, click the option Save to Disk. note
there is no option to choose where on disk you wish to place the saved file.

after doing the above steps on the Mac the Download dialog only shows the
widgets --*no* text-- and downloading begins immediately (you're not given a
choice).

upping to critical. anyone else see this?

Putting on [nsbeta2+] radar.
Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+] Investigating....
Depends on: 47358
No longer depends on: 47358
We found that this occurs on all platforms *and* if you do the following
[quickly!] *before* the progress meter in the statusbar (bug 44176) has
completed downloading:

1. select the Save to Disk radiobutton
2. click OK

result: no file picker will appear.

expected: downloading shouldn't be so fragile as to not allow the user to change
her/his mind as to where to download a file. :-)

I'm consoldating a bunch of bugs which are all related. Looks like the helper
app dialog issues a cancel even when it gets unloaded. This causes us to cancel
the load.
