From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001028 BuildID: 2000102808 (trunk) Hi, this worked for a while but it's been broken for over a week. When dragging a link from mozilla to a folder or the desktop, it should make a web link icon there that has the page's title as the name and should point to the page it was dragged on. Right now, the title is nothing ("") and the url included starts out like this: "http://http%3a//" which causes an error when trying to open the link. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Go to page. Drag link icon from location bar to desktop. Actual Results: Link is produced on desktop, but title is nothingness (didn't think that could happpen). The web address included in the link is like this: "http://http%3a//www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-helper.html" Expected Results: The title should be the page's title, and the web address should be correct, like this: "http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-helper.html"

seeing this, over to xp apps this also should be checked if this is a trunk regression or also in branch (ie rtm nomination)

I see it in trunk as well as branch
Comment 4•24 years ago
|
||
if this is in branch, this should be rtm, right?

cc alecf, who has been working on similar regressions. Bug 58403 might be related.
Comment 6•24 years ago
|

Oops, bug 58335 might be related. If 58403 isn't related then something's wrong.

Now the url is correct when dragging the proxy icon or a link, but the first word of the title is cut off.

Hi, I just wanted to note that this currently works okay for single word titles, but some titles. I'm not sure what makes this following link not work (perhaps the colon): http://www.vard.org/jour/99/36/1/brien361.htm try to drag it to make a link.

nav triage team: So it looks like only multi word titles are broken, marking nsbeta1-, p3, normal, resetting target milestone

I'm having trouble seeing this as "polish". It impedes my browsing quite a bit. I can't migrate my bookmarks to Mozilla because of issues like the dataloss of bookmarks last month as well as the general up and down ability to edit the bookmark list. If I can drag a shortcut to my Explorer favorites folder I can browse and bookmark unimpeded. As this functionality stands in Moz I can only get working shortcuts from my drag and drops about %50 of the time. Incidentally the 60396 bug that I reported this problem with has some info which this bug lacks. As one example dropping a bookmark to an Amazon.com book always fails apparently at least partially due to the colons in the bookmark title. With this example you get an error message from the OS regarding inappropriate file naming. You can also get this to fail in this manner by trying to bookmark this bug to the desktop.

I thought this was fixed, but try dragging this url to your desktop: http://efunda.globalspec.com/Frames?Url=http%3A//efunda.globalspec.com/SpecSearch/SearchForm%3FVID%3D3470%26Comp%3D246 First few times it game me a "couldn't find path" error dialog, but now I just get a ping sound.

As a possibly related issue, dragging a URL where the title contains a ":" causes an error on Windows. For example: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1446673090 produces "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is invalid." twice.

The error with filenames containing a colon is bug 91122. (That bug might end up being a duplicate of this bug, of course.)

A) this looks like it's fixed as far as the summary goes. Shortcuts dragged to desktop no longer have broken titles and corrupted urls. However, B) there is still a problem when there is a colon in the title. The bug referenced, 91122, seems to deal with the colon problem, but it should maybe state so in the summary and move the other shortcut problems mentioned there to other bugs. Unless anyone is still having this problem, I suggest closing this bug and focusing on the other bugs.

Huh, I've never seen my shortcuts given URL names. In any case, I also think we should ditch the "polish" keyword, as this is a major pain in the bum. Finally, this url: http://respond.webhire.com/itt/jd213.html has an error making a shortcut. It just makes a "ding" noise and it has no colon in the page title.

Also, it seems that pages with a "/" in the title also produce an error sound and no successful shortcut creation.
Comment 26•23 years ago
|

Also, a title "a\b" creates a folder "a" with in it a link "b" when dragging the link to e.g. the desktop.

Let's not morph this bug beyond the originally reported problem, which I'm sure not seeing anymore. Please open new bug reports for exception cases like : or /

Mass moving lower-priority bugs to 0.9.6 (with Blake's pre-consent) to make room for remaining 0.9.4/eMojo bugs and MachV planning, performance and feature work. If anyone disagrees with the new target, please let me know.

The cases recently mentioned by Ben Ruppel and Edwin Martin are covered by bug 78509, "Can't make an Internet shortcut with :, /, \ in title (by dragging link to desktop)". The original bug here works for me and for the reporter (Ben Ruppel), so marking WFM.
