This is not a new behavior after the upgrade, .log attachments were always set as text/x-log for auto detect option, however you can manually set it at creation time to be plain/text and that will work as per your requirement. I don't think we will be looking at changing this normal behavior as this is how it works in the upstream bugzilla, and we need to stick to the upstream bugzilla as much as possible and avoid unnecessary customizations.

That is not true, in the old bugzilla the mimetype got set to application/octet-stream. IOW the autodetect option did not recognise it at all. Now that it does recognise log files as such, it should give them a usable mimetype.

Okay then we will consider this a feature request, that maybe we can look into in the future.

Can we please please have this fixed. I've been doing bug triage today and needed to change a dozen or more attachment mime types from plain/x-log to plain/text.

Fixing this sure ain't rocket science and the bug is very disruptive to our workflow. Doing click log attachment get, save as dialog, click cancel. Edit details, click attachment again. Dozens times a day really is a problem.

The MIME type is set by your web browser, not by Bugzilla itself. This means that your browser didn't detect your file as text/plain, but as text/x-log.

Probably a duplicate of bug 618713
