2. Save something else in the same place
  
Actual results:
It overwrites without prompting

Expected results:

Comment 1 Phil Anderson 2004-10-16 07:05:06 UTC 
Still happening with firefox-0.10.1-1.0PR1.10.

Is this an upstream bug?  Or is it a problem Redhat's back ported gtk
file chooser?
Comment 2 Christopher Aillon 2004-10-16 07:27:31 UTC 
It's a double upstream bug technically... GTK+ has a bug filed on it
to handle this automatically, but in the meantime, Firefox should do
it itself.  I originally wrote the upstream file chooser support, and
plan to have this fixed over the weekend.
Comment 3 Christopher Aillon 2004-10-20 07:32:26 UTC 
It now prompts, but the file chooser goes away if you don't want to
overwrite which i think sucks.  I'll fix that in a future update.
Comment 4 Thomas Woerner 2005-05-04 10:42:04 UTC 
This is happening again in FC-4 and FC3-updates.
Comment 5 Christopher Aillon 2005-05-04 15:38:58 UTC 
It works fine for me... Make sure your prefs are properly set.

Re-resolving RAWHIDE.  This code fix is still there, so a new bug would be
appreciated if you still think its really a regression since it would certainly
be a different issue.
