Details
[Numerous minor things, I cannot be bothered to file new bug reports for each
one because my connection is **SLOW**. SO I'm filing this ONE, and split it up
if you want. I have not checked if dupes of all these bugs exist, mainly
because the one query I ran (for "flicker") took approximately 5 mins to
complete.]
DESCRIPTION
1. The "Unknown File Type" box does not disappear at the right time.
2. The button on the "Save File" dialog should read "Save", not "Open"!
3. The "Saving File" dialog is never the right default size.
4. The horizontal bar in the "Saving File" dialog is klunky and inefficient. It
flickers constantly.
5. It is possible to get a time-left reading of 60 minutes or 60 seconds.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start apprunner browser.
2. Go to a site you can download a file from, preferably a slow site so that the
file will take some time to download. The site I used was
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/1999-05-28-08-M7/ from which I
downloaded mozilla-win32.zip. Something that takes over an hour or two to
download.
3. Click on the file you want.
4. A nice dialog box will appear, click on "Save File"
5. Another dialog box appears. Move this one around the screen to see Bug No.
1: the "Unknown File Type" box stays on the screen, being a huge eyesore, with
the "Save File" button still depressed.
6. Bug No. 2: Look at the "Save File" dialog. The button on it says "Open".
You're not opening a file, you're saving a file, so this is wrong.
7. Type in a filename and click on "Open".
8. Behold bugs 3 through 5. Firstly, the "Saving File" dialog opens, and needs
to be resized so that the "Cancel" button can be seen. Secondly, look at the
bar as it creeps across the box -- flickers nicely, no? Thirdly, look at the
ETA of the file, and here you see why I suggested a SLOW site to download from.
As the time reading creeps down, notice that it is possible to get readings
containing "60 minutes" and/or "60 seconds".
ACTUAL RESULTS -- look at RESULTS.
EXPECTED RESULTS
In the order of the bugs listed:
1. The "Unknown File Type" box should disappear immediately after you click on
"Save File".
2. The button on the "Save File" dialog should read "Save" not "Open"!!
3. The "Saving File" dialog should be correctly sized by default.
4. The horizontal bar in the "Saving File" dialog should never flicker, it
should move smoothly across the box.
5. The time-reading should *never* include "60 minutes" -- this should be
carried over into the hours section of the time-reading. The same kind of
argument applies to a "60 seconds" reading where one minute should be added to
the minutes reading and "0 seconds" should be displayed instead.
BUILD DATE & PLATFORM
Build No. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx using Win95 ver 4.00.1111
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My screen display is set to 800x600 High color, refresh rate "Optimal" for a
S3 Trio64V+. Using a Pentium 120-S w/48 Mb RAM.
Sorry, forgot to insert the Build No -- it's Build No. 1999052508.
Moving all Apprunner bugs past and present to Other component temporarily whilst
don and I set correct component. Apprunner component will be deleted/retired
shortly.
I think 1 and 3 are fixed. 2 requires enhancements to the file widget. 4 is a
side effect of using Gecko to render the dialog (if I let it update more
smoothly, it causes the time to be spent relaying out the dialog, rather than
doing the download). But I might be able to tune it. 5 is trivial and will be
fixed along with the rest (for M10, hopefully).
I've bumped the Severity because this is a much harder problem to fix now. The
Necko changes mean that the file download dialog code needs some major work.
I'll be working on this and maybe get it into M11.
File downloading is still being worked on, see bug #10737.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
I'm not sure I agree with item #1. If the user changes their mind about saving
then it might make sense that they are returned from whence they came and given
a chance to try something else.
#2 is fixed (for the moment, we're replacing the underlying file-picker dialog
code soon and if this breaks again, holler).
#3 is fixed (although there are still some cosmetic issues for which bugs
already exist).
#4 is about as good as it gets, using xul <progressmeter> elements. The
flickering should be gone (was due to painting problems in underlying code that
have been resolved).
#5 is still broken, I've opened a new bug (19019) to cover that.
I'm marking this one resolved FIXED.
