Bug ID: 472336
Summary: Drag and drop of a file to Chromium browser if the
path contains special/non-A-to-Z characters makes
browser unable to read the file and its size
Classification: Plasma
Product: xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Version: 5.27.6
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This is a wild guess this belongs to xdg-desktop-portal-kde subproject. I'm not
an expect. See Summary section as well. If you think it should belong
somewhere else please move it or guide me where I should report it again.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open https://blogs.sitepointstatic.com/examples/tech/filedrag/1/index.html
in Chromium based browser (Chrome) and in Firefox (for comparison)
2. Create a folder named "płacz" (there is polish letter ł here)
3. Copy any non empty file to this folder
4. From Dolphin drag the file into Chrome to the drop box on the page you
opened in step 1
OBSERVED RESULT
In the "File information" section you will notice it has size of 0
EXPECTED RESULT
It should be able to read the real file size
if you repeat this experiment with path (and filename) containing only a-z
characters (like /home/user/Documents/whatever.pdf) it will be read correctly
by Chrome. Firefox however always reads the file correctly.
The Browse/Choose file button works with this demo page. However it causes
issues with GMail interface (it rejects any attachment files, even via a
button, because they are empty).
This COULD be the Chrome bug. Something similar was reported 13 years ago:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=42494 and in this thread
you can find a reference to some old Dolphin bug again.
But on the other hand I found this post, suggesting it's because of
`xdg-desktop-portal-kde`
https://superuser.com/questions/1784412/problems-with-file-upload-in-chrome-based-browser-on-kde
I'm not an expert in this area, I'm lost. I hope provided info is enough to
fight this bug.
