Seems like IE10 allows the user to edit the file/path entry field, but really, they can only type something which will erase the previously selected file, but not allow them to enter actual content into the field. Pressing space in the field causes the file selection dialog to open.

I think the issue here is that the fileEntry component doesn't clear the previously selected filename if the user just type something into the path field which clears it out. Maybe there is a special DOM event we need to listen for in this case.

Committed fix to 4.0 trunk at revision 41174 and to 3.3. EE maintenance branch at revision 41175.

This issue could also be reproduced on IE7, IE8, and IE9, besides IE10. It could also be reproduced with the delete key. Since the whole file path was deleted with a single backspace or delete keypress, an onkeydown event was added that listens for a backspace or delete keypress on the file input field to clear the file selection, using our internal API, so that nothing gets submitted. This only applies to the non-multiple case, since when ace:fileEntry is in multiple mode, the actual file input elements are not exposed to the user.

Verified with EE-3.3.0-maintenance branch rev. 41176 in IE10/7.
Issue still present with ICEfaces4 trunk rev. 41176 (showcase > Listener/Validation).

Comitted fix to 4.0 trunk at revision 41181. Added special function to completely clear file selection in the single case, copied form the 3.3 EE branch.

Verified with ICEfaces4 trunk rev. 41181 in IE7/8/10.
