I recently tried to attach an 8.5MiB .tar.gz file to a Savannah ticket
comment.
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?67599
Savannah discarded my comment _and_ attachment--with no notice whatsoever of
error--and navigated me back to the ticket page as if I were freshly visiting
it.
Fortunately, I was able to click back in my browser and recover my comment.
I think Savannah should put up an error page if it rejects the attachment, and
say why.
Also, and yes this should probably be a separate ticket, it'd be nice if there
were a control to trash an already-selected--but not yet uploaded!--attachment
in the reply composer. To recover from the foregoing situation, I had to copy
and paste my comment into a new browser tab on the same ticket URL, because
there was no way to get rid of the presumptively invalid attached file.
