Open a web page, for example: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4299074.stm
Save it as a file with spaces: Moon's shadow moves across Earth.htm in the Web,Complete mode.
Yeuch, spaces in a file name - My view is that's a feature, not a bug. Down with spaces in filenames and all the tedious escape characters you then have to enter when handling them in a shell. Nature abhors a vacuum, and *nix abhors spaces in filenames. Be brave - say no to filenames with spaces. Tho' I'd have expected a file called Earth_files, perhaps ... BTW, I don't get your results unless I remove the proposed filename 4299074.stm.html thrown up by Firefox's 'Save As' and replace it with your string full of spaces. My cure would be to give it a much shorter filename, or, if I was keen on the long one, to use dashes or underscores. You'll have an easier life in the long run, promise, particularly when you're logged in over a terminal or emulator from some remote location and trying to do something complex with your files.

You find that instead of Moon's shadow moves across Earth_files folder like in Windows, there's only a _files folder. And save two or three web pages to the same folder with such names, then all your images etc are thrown into a single _files folder instead of filename1_files filename2_files etc.
Does anyone else have this? Is it a bug with Firefox or SUSE? Where should I report it?
