Description of problem:

When I try to click the choose file button it doesn't open anything to choose file from. By that I meant it doesn't open a file browser in windows. I am not sure what is causing this issue but I might suspect it is a bootstrap 4 issue.

Here are all the stylesheet and javascript libraries I am using:

Also, I am using flask(python) as a backend but I don't see it as an issue though!

    Answer ✓

    Thank you for reporting this! It isn't actually an issue with Bootstrap 4, but rather a change in how jQuery 3.5 parses HTML compared to the previous versions of Bootstrap 4. In Editor's source there is the line:

    '<input type="file" '+(multiple ? 'multiple' : '')+'/>'+
    

    That needs to be changed to be:

    '<input type="file" '+(multiple ? 'multiple' : '')+'></input>'+
    

    Then it will work. We'll include that in 1.9.4 which we'll drop in the next week or so.

    Regards,
    Allan

    Hi Allan,

    I am using 1.9.4 and I have confirmed that the line above is as you said it should be, but I am having the same problem.

    It works fine if I use Bootstrap, instead of Bootstrap4.
