** Description changed: - Binary package hint: thunderbird + Steps to reproduce: - I received an email with a zip file attached. + 1) Open a message you have received in your inbox, some message with an attachment + 2) Right click on the attachment and choose "save as" + 3) Select a location to save it, in a disk where you have not enough space available + 4) Click OK. - In thunderbird, if I double click on the attachment and select to open - it with archive manager (default), I can open it and browse its - contents. So the attachment is fine. + Expected behaviour: - But if I right-click and select "save as", it is saved as a 0-byte file. - It doesn't give any error messages: simply saves the file as a corrupted - 0-byte file. It even takes a little time to save it (it's a 18 megabyte - file) and shows a progress bar while saving it, but then, the saved file - is 0 bytes in size and I cannot open or extract it. + * An error message should appear, such as "Cannot save the attachment. + Not enough free space on disk" or whatever. And the file shouldn't be + even created. - This has happened only with one particular file so far. + Observed behaviour: - It is even possible that the file I have been sent has some problem; - however, if I am able to open it without saving it, there's no reason I - shouldn't be able to save it. Also, if the file is corrupt or has any - issue, Thunderbird should definitely show an error message, not just - silently fail. So no matter whether the file I have received is corrupt - or not, thunderbird is not behaving properly. + * Silently fails, no error message is given, and a truncated or empty + file is saved. - Unfortunately I cannot attach the file in question. Let me know if there - is any log I can provide. + (i tested it on a disk where I have 0 bytes available, and the file was + saved as a 0-byte file. So I don't know whether it is truncated to the + available disk space or always to zero bytes) + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: thunderbird 3.1.7+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-28.55-generic 2.6.32.27+drm33.12 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-28-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Feb 12 13:09:23 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100429) ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: thunderbird
