579759 - Typing slash ("/") in the save dialog box does not prompt for a new directory.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.10) Gecko/20100504 SeaMonkey/2.0.5

When I save an attachment to an email message, I get the familiar "Save As ..." dialog box.  However, if I want to save the attachment to another directory, I need to first navigate to that directory.

In other applications, pressing typing a slash ("/") will bring up a small dialog box that prompts me to type in a path.  I can then type in a patch and press Enter, and then it will change to that path.

In Seamonkey, however, typing a slash does nothing special.  So if I type in "/tmp/filename", Seamonkey will create a file called "/tmp/filename" in the current directory.  This is obviously useless.  I shouldn't be allowed to create filenames with slashes in them.

This bug might be related to bug 575879.

Reproducible: Always

Worksforme with Gecko/20100504 SeaMonkey/2.0.5 on Leopard. This also works fine on trunk.

When I type "/" in the save dialog box, I get a sheet prompting me to type in a path. I can then navigate to the desired dir by typing the path.

Note that I'm on 10.5, so the problem could be specific for Snow Leopard. The Save dialog is not app-specific, though - moving to cocoa.

Hmm... It looks like it's working for me now.  I don't know why it didn't work before, and I can't seem to reproduce the problem.

Sorry for the noise.
