21657 2009-09-21 21:28:31 +0400 can't correctly pass a filename with Russian to external program (at least, in ru_RU.KOI8-R or .CP1251) 2018-06-29 19:22:42 +0300 1 1 3 Distributions Branch 5.0 firefox unspecified all Linux CLOSED WONTFIX P3 normal --- 21658 1 imz nobody grenka qa-5.0 oldest_to_newest 99754 0 imz 2009-09-21 21:28:31 +0400 firefox-3.0.9-alt1.M50.1 $ rpm -qa '*xul*' xulrunner-libs-1.9.0.9-alt1.M50.1 xulrunner-1.9.0.9-alt1.M50.1 xulrunner-gnome-support-1.9.0.9-alt1.M50.1 $ How to reproduce: [ivan@dell ~]$ locale LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_TIME="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_MESSAGES=POSIX LC_PAPER="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_NAME="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_ALL= [ivan@dell ~]$ ls /home/ivan/data/OUT/bugreports/ALT/browsers/Russian-filenames logo.doc лого.doc [ivan@dell ~]$ Now, start firefox an open this directory, click on the file with the Russian name (лого.doc), choose open in the menu. Result: openoffice is started, but it opens a new (empty) document. This wouldn't happen if one clicked on the file with the name in Latin letters (logo.doc). Also, if you typed $ oowriter /home/ivan/data/OUT/bugreports/ALT/browsers/Russian-filenames/лого.doc it would correctly open the file. So the problem is with firefox not passing the arguments correctly to external programs. Expected: The filename is correctly passed to openoffice and the file is opened. This happens so in seamonkey-1.1.16-alt1 : seamonkey correctly opens this file in openoffice. 99755 1 imz 2009-09-21 21:30:54 +0400 The same problem arises when opening files with Russian names which are attachments received in Gmail: they are not opened if they are simply clicked on in firefox. Workaround: save the attachement, then open it from a file browser (like Thunar) or give a command in shell. 172309 2 grenka 2018-06-29 19:22:42 +0300 В p8 не воспроизводится.
