Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client
Lucid 64bit
situation:
I'm at the "files" tab in the web interface of ubuntu one. There are several hidden files (.bashrc, .bashaliases, etc).
Now i left-click one of said files and select "save file". I select the target directory. I am asked if i want to overwrite the existing .bashrc which i confirm.
expected behaviour:
The old .bashrc should be deleted and replaced by the new .bashrc.
what happened instead:
The old .bashrc was deleted and the new .bashrc was renamed to bashrc and saved so i had a bashrc instead of .bashrc. This happened with every hidden file.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I can confirm this behaviour using firefox & chromium. However, opera downloads & saves the file correctly. As such, this is most likely a bug in the browser as opposed to a bug in the ubuntuone webui.
I store .bashrc in my ubuntu one directory. In the webui & my ubuntu one directory it is stored as ".bashrc". When this file is downloaded from the webui using firefox or chromium it is saved as "bashrc". See http:// imgbin. org/images/ 1592.png (firefox) & http:// imgbin. org/images/ 1594.png (chromium).
When using opera to download the same .bashrc, it is saved correctly - See http:// imgbin. org/images/ 1593.png.
Can you please confirm which browser you are using to download these files? Also, please try using opera to download these files to confirm that works as expected. I will re-assign this bug report to the appropriate package if you can confirm my findings.
Thanks in advance!
