96068 - save-as dialog doesn't handle relative symlinks to directories correctly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 92329

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Jens Heunemann]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.13 i686)
BuildID:    20010801

double-click on a symlink xy to a directory ab/cd  has no effect. 

(additional RFE: might also be useful if you could distinguish between symlinks
and directories)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a relative symlink in directory /z: "ln -s ab/cd xy"
2. open a "save-as" dialog, go to directory /z
3. try to switch to the shown "subdirectory" xy in /z

the names are arbitrary to my knowledge (tried some)

Actual Results:  nothing

Expected Results:  mozilla should have switched to the symlinked directory
