Description Nitish Rathi 2005-08-20 13:28:20 UTC
Distribution/Version: Fedora Core 4

I'll describe a situation here where I try to open the file-roller sources
(tar-gzipped) from Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 on Fedora Core 4 with file-roller
2.10.0. However, I it's easy to reproduce the bug using other applications like
a mail client as well. Specifically, I've also reproduced the bug by trying to
open a tar.gz attachment from Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6.

What happens:

1) In Mozilla Firefox, download the tar.gz file mentioned below (or any other
tar.gz file for that matter):
(http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/file-roller/2.10/file-roller-2.10.3.tar.gz)

2) When asked "What should Firefox do with this file?", choose to "Open with"
file-roller (it appears in the combo-box as Archive Manager on most Fedora/Gnome
installations).

3) A new file-roller window opens up showing the contents of the tar.gz file (a
directory named file-roller-2.10.3), which is normal and expected.

4) Repeat steps 1 and 2 above for the same file.

5) A new file-roller window appears, but instead of showing the directory as in
step 3, it now shows a file named file-roller-2.10.3.tar-1,
file-roller-2.10.3.tar-2, file-roller-2.10.3.tar-3, and so on with successively
increasing numbers at the end every time steps 4 is executed.

6) Upon deleting /tmp/file-roller-2.10.3.tar*, the contents are displayed
correctly once, and the problem repeats on every successive attempt.


What you would expect to happen:

The contents of the tar.gz file should always be correctly and consistently
displayed after recursive extraction, irrespective of the number of attempts.
Specifically, the behavior in step 5 should not happen instead of the expected
behavior as in step 3. The temporary extraction of the .tar file should be
transparent to the user.
