80133 - Choose Viewer Display or /proc Problem When Selecting Directory

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 70628

(Core Graveyard :: Viewer App, defect)

Description

[Michael B. Allen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT; SYSCERT001)
BuildID:    2001050521

When selecting a directory within the Choose Viewer file dialog, the display 
will momentarily show multiple instances of the /proc directory throughout the 
dialogs main text area. See associated URL.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose link to file without prescribed mime type
2. When Choose Viewer dialog appears, select go to root and select /usr for 
example.
3. Watch the main text window of the dialog closely. This may be exaggerated 
for me because I am running Exceed 6 on NT but many /proc entries appear 
breifly.

NOTE: I am running X over Exceed 6 to NT. Display slowness is gernerally common 
with Mozilla. This bug may just be an artifact of that. OR this could be a bad 
interaction with the /proc vitrual filesystem on Linux.

This is just know slowness in the XP filepicker back when it was tree-based.  
This should be better now that outliner-based filepicker has landed.  Please 
retest with a recent nightly.
