User default picture path incorrect when run through image styles

Failed to apply patch, looks like it is not rolled from root of drupal file system

Attached patch makes following changes on above patch,
- re-rolled from root directory
- adds $file_dir_path variable to avoid redundant function call file_directory_path()
- remove trailing white space from file user.module

(I would be easy if Default picture field in account settings page is file upload instead text field.)

#2: 799178_user_default_pic.patch queued for re-testing.

I probably should have posted this here: http://drupal.org/node/935592#comment-3861338

Not even sure if this bug still exists, but if it does, it needs to be fixed in 8.x first.

VERSION 7.10 and 7.11

I'm having the same issue, still running on my localhost. Problem is a double // (windows machine) in the path. Not yet sure where to fix it or if it's a bug or something I messed up myself..

Here's a working path from an older 7.10 install, followed by the broken path from a 7.11 (updated) install:

http://localhost/drupal/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/modu... (OLDER INSTALL)
http://localhost/drupal-7.10//sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/publi... (BAD PATH - note the double // after drupal-7.10.

The requested page "/drupal-7.10//sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/modules/image/sample.png?1327368160" could not be found.

Found a similar problem here, but still can't fix it. I'm about to wipe everything I've done for the past month and a half and start over.
:-(

I even tried copying the cck folder from the older installation that was working fine and that made no difference, so I don't know where the problem lies.

Sorry for the extra p.s. , but I just remembered that the problem first appeared after I installed and used the backup / migrate module. I've also seen that module referred to elsewhere in my searches regarding this problem, if that helps.

Again; the bug needs to be fixed (or verified as absent) in 8.x before considering a patch to 7.x.

FIXED!

Was not a bug. new USER ERROR.

Go to admin/config/media/file-system and make sure the paths there DO NOT have leading or trailing slashes!
It's that simple. Example: sites/default/files

Apologies if I had initially posted this in the wrong place. I am still working with v. 7-11.
