Clicking on down facing arrow opens 'Open File Should' modal dialog, but clicking
on 'Open File load file from disk' goes no where, e.g. no file manager pop-up.

Which web browser? And does anyone else have this issue? I'm not seeing it here.

Windows did a forced update causing a reboot. Ahhhh, so we can now double check. Results no better.

To add to post #1 on mouse rollover, the down facing arrow turns green with a tootip 'Open File' appearing to the right. Clicking opens the 'Open File Should' modal dialog and rolling over the first item also hilights that selection 'Open File load file from disk' green. Clicking does nothing other than dismissing itself. The file manager never launches.

That all sounds like expected behaviour I think.

What happens if you click the icon itself, and not the down-arrow next to it?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
