Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
1. Ubuntu 11.04
2. Firefox 4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.3
3. I had used Firefox to get some information from the internet. I clicked on
"save as", expecting it to proceed from there.
4. The "save as" window opened, but it was blank white.
It had worked on one occasion a few minutes earlier today. This document was
mostly text with some formatting (a motherboard specification from ASUS).
The next window I selected was a photo of the motherboard. This is the one
that failed to save.
As this had also happened yesterday, I decided to report the problem.
After triggering Apport & sending that information, the Launchpad login screen
came up (as expected).
At this time, the Save As screen changed from blank to showing the previous
folder to which I had saved, plus the folder contents (normal).
However, when I tried to change the file name, from the website's name to a
more meaningful one, I couldn't delete or enter into that field. I then
clicked on the save button (to allow it to save to the folder & file name
shown), but that had no effect.
The small window that gives details of a download then appeared, but it was
white & empty.
I was able to close the download window & the Save As window.
Yesterday, I worked around the problem by copying the image from Firefox to
LibreOffice Writer, & saving that file; this worked OK, but I would prefer to
use the Save As function in Firefox.
I reported a problem (781403) with Save & Save As a few weeks ago, but
it went away. I assumed that some fix had been made... Apart from the
initial white screen, it's behaviour was not the same as in this report.
Regards, Garry.
