792186 - When I upload the file with letter "é" in filename Firefox converts this letter to "é"

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[vitaly]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1
Build ID: 20120905151427

Steps to reproduce:

I created the plugin for WordPress http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/filenames-to-latin/ which sanitize filenames to latin while upload. For example letter "é" becomes "e" in filename. This plugin works good, but errors happen in Firefox on MacOS (on Firefox on Windows everything works fine). When I upload the file with letter "é" in filename Firefox converts this letter to "é" an my plugin could not find letter "é" to convert it to "e".


Actual results:

So file with letter "é" in filename does not converted to "e" as it happen in other browsers or on Firefox on Windows.


Expected results:

Letter "é" in filename should be converted to "e" while file upload.

I mean, that this bug was on FireFox 10 on OSX Leopard & Lion for sure and maybe on other Firefox versions too (but other I didn't tested).

Hello Vitaly,

I just found your old bug-report and I'm sorry that there was no solution on our site for your problem until now.
can you please give us a short update on this bug-report? is it still a valid problem on your site?
I saw also that you made an update of your plugin - nice tool - that change this maybe?

thanks for a short update.

Nothing changed for last 2 years.
Bug is still present on Firefox on MacOS.
