Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.2.6-1
Severity: normal


It happens, that epiphany succesfully downloads some binary attachment
(in my case .doc file) but fails to properly start the application for
viewing it. The problem probably lies in lack of escaping/quoting but
the main reason is in keeping too much rubbish while using the
original file name for the saved file.

For example, I just click some .doc attachment in my organization
bugzilla (attachment has been created by some windows user, bugzilla
tends to keep the original file name as the attachment
name). Attachemnt downloads succesfully (or at least the download
window popups, shows progress and then disappears) and then I got the
following error from OpenOffice:

Error loading document file:///home/marcink/desktop/pobrania/c:%SCDocuments%20and%20Settings%5Cmateusz%5CDesktop%5CEkrany%202028.06(1).doc: /home/marcink/desktop/pobrania/c:\Documents and Settings\mateusz\Desktop\Ekrany 202028.06(1).doc does not exist

(I use Polish locale so desktop/pobrania is Gnome name for something
probably named desktop/download in english gnome setup)

It is worth noting that I do not see any file in
/home/marcink/desktop/pobrania so either epiphany removed it or
... decided not to save it anywhere.
