Ellipsis in attachment name causes error

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      When an attachment name contains the ellipsis character '...' the attachment cannot be deleted.
      Any attempt to do so results in the error: 'You are not permitted to perform this operation.'

      Permissions are fine, and any attachment on the same page without the ellipsis can be deleted without a problem.

      The attachment has to be renamed in the database, as attempting to use the Edit link causes a system error:

      java.lang.NullPointerException
      at com.atlassian.confluence.pages.actions.MoveAttachmentAction.bootstrap(MoveAttachmentAction.java:120)

      Have not been able to test in Conf3, but could not find a report of this anywhere, so I'm assuming (despite the inherent risks in that!) that it still exists.
