Cannot delete an attachement with WIKI_DELETE and WIKI_ADMIN permissions

[brooklyn.waters@…]

Users with WIKI_DELETE and WIKI_ADMIN permissions cannot necessarily delete attachments.

I followed these instructions:

"To do this, login as the privileged user, click on the attachment. The attachment page will now have a "Delete Attachment" button you can use to delete the attachment. Note that is an irreversible operation."

On the wiki page I now had a two buttons allowing me to delete the page or delete this version.

When I clicked on the attachment There was no delete button.

The attachment itself is a SQL script and its text appears on the attachement page, complete with line numbers but there is no delete button at all.

I have verified that the user has both WIKI_DELETE and WIKI_ADMIN permissions.

Further experiments have shown that this problem occurs with Firefox browser but not IE and only with text based files. I can easily delete a word attachement but not a .txt or .sql attachement in Firefox.

I have had problems deleting attachments too.

I found that attachments uploaded before I gave myself WIKI_DELETE permissions don't show the delete button (however pages do show a delete button).

The workaround is to re-upload the attachment after giving yourself WIKI_DELETE permission. Then view the attachment and a delete button will now be presented to you.

I am using trac 0.9.5.

I believe this should work. If someone runs into this problem again with 0.10.x or later, please reopen.
