"zypper patch" invoked recently) Package: Firefox-11.0-2.23.1 DTE: KDE 4.7.2 (from 12.1 main repo) As a normal user I just attempted to add a log file as an attachment to a bugzilla. The log file was owned by root and had 0600 permissions, so I did not have permissions to read it. When I attempted to submit the bugzilla attachment, firefox did not respond at all. By chance I tried the same process from windows where Firefox informed me I did not permission to read the file. After changing the permissions to 0644, firefox on opensuse had no problem submitting the attachment. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a simple text file 2. chown it to root, chmod it to 0600 3. Try to attach it to this bugzilla entry as an attachment 4. I assume firefox will sit silently. 5. chmod the file to 0644 and try to submit again. It should work this time. Actual Results: silent failure Expected Results: An error message should in some way pop up and inform the user they don't have read permission on the file they are trying to submit. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
