i had an folder on my desktop accessible for my user, but only root can create new files/direcotries (drwxr-xr-x owned by root:root).
when i tried to download a file and save it into the directory, the save as window goes away like normal, but no notice was displayed that the download successfully finished. a check in the directory revealed that the file hadn't be downloaded, but there was no information about insufficient permissions in the download-folder.

greetings,

steve

3. file will not be downloaded, no notice is displayed that the write permissions are missing
