Unable to select multiple files to send

[php4fan]

Steps to reproduce

This used to work as expected until few days ago.

Say you want to send a bunch of photos:

1. Click on the paperclip icon to send some
2. The file selection window pops up
3. Click on an image file to select it. ctrl+click on another file to select multiple files, and so on
4. When you are done with the selection, click the "Open" button or hit Enter

Expected behaviour

You should be able to do that.

Actual behaviour

As soon as you click on the very first file, the file selection window closes as if you had already clicked Open. Basically you can only select one file at a time. To select more, you need to click Add, but then again, only one at a time.

Even if you ctrl+click on the first file (which was never needed), the same happens.
