download never starts

[Vincent Carmona]

I have just upgrade my lubuntu to precise.
Since that upgrade when I try to download a file, an empty file (size 0 o) appears in my folder, midori shows the an empty progress bar but the download never starts.
My connexion shows no downloading rate.

After removing the ppa version and installing the precise version, I still have this issue.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

yep, I'm getting exactly the same bug, most recent Xubuntu. Had it several weeks at least, maybe since install date. Means I can't download anything.

However, if I choose to open the file (pdf, or whatever), it downloads and opens fine. It's only if I choose save as that this problem occurs. Just makes it a bit inconvenient for some file types, have to go to /tmp and save it from there!
