This is a duplicate of  issue 16318 .

crbug/16318 is not an active bug. So we'll continue tracking this issue here itself.

Able to reproduce this issue on Win-10 and Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome reported version #62.0.3202.75 and latest canary #64.0.3254.0.
This is a non-regression issue as it is observed from M50 old builds. 

Note: Issue is not seen in mac os.

Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Thanks...!!

I think we should truncate filenames to be less than 255 characters.  That should work on pretty most all filesystems.

I don't know enough about Aura to be able to find where the "drop link on desktop" code lives.

DesktopDragDropClientAuraX11::DragTranslate looks promising.

It's hard for me to assess how important this is.  It looks like we get a complaint or two about it each year, which makes me think not so much.  I'm willing to be corrected.  For now, punting.

 Issue 768595  has been merged into this issue.

I'd like some feedback from someone more experienced with X11 and chrome on a potential solution.

The cause is file name size limit imposed by the OS (255). As mpearson suggested, truncating file names seems like a good fix. Yet, text dropped to the text editor and such other use cases should not be truncated. I'd like to identify when the user's drag contents is a url and the target is the desktop. On Linux (goobuntu), the `XEvent`'s `selection target` (also referred to as `type` by the `XChangeProperty` method) property is set to `_NETSCAPE_URL` when that is the case.

Does anyone know:

1. Will dragging a URL to the desktop will result in the type `_NETSCAPE_URL` for all Linux and Windows operating systems?

2. Is there an application other than the desktop that may require a `_NETSCAPE_URL` and for which we should not truncate the url name to 255 characters?

Note, 255 characters won't work on Windows.  On Windows the limit is 259 characters for *total path length*.  So if I'm dragging a link to my desktop, I have 259 - 21 for 'c:\Users\Dan\Desktop\' - 4 for '.url' = 234 characters maximum for the title part of the path.  If I were dragging it to a folder instead of to the desktop the limit would be something different.  See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/FileIO/naming-a-file#maximum-path-length-limitation for details.

200 seems like a nice round number which will work most of the time.
