Can't attach files to Github posts

Unread post by Axatax » 2019-06-06, 05:15

I can't attach files to Github posts.

At the bottom of text entry boxes for things like comments to bug reports, etc. there's an option "Attach files by dragging & dropping, selecting them." If I click on this, I get the GTK+ file selector where I can chose a file, but when I click on "Open", the file selector closes without attaching the file and without any error message. I know that's probably a vague description of the problem but I don't know how to describe this otherwise.

Please include troubleshooting information for your system, as detailed in this post. Also try Safe Mode to see if an extension is interfering with your ability to attach files.

If you are using 28.5.1, know that such function is broken in that version and you should upgrade to latest 28.5.2.
If you are using content blocking extensions, make sure you allow Amazon S3 resources on the page.
