55333 - filepicker chokes on sybolic link to non-existant file

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53731

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Ralph Hartley]

If there is a symbolic link to a file that does not exist (for example the
result of "ln -s /foo foobar"), then the filepicker not only doesn't display
that link (which might be wrong but defensable) but also fails to show some
other files and/or directories.

I don't know what order the files are processed in, but the behavior is
consistant with processing files in some (not alphabetic) order and stoping
when hitting a bad link.
