I am running a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, dual boot
with 7HP64, and I have this same problem.

I didn't have this problem yesterday, but I have it today.  Have not
rebooted, have not changed anything.  But I think I can outline the
steps I took to produce this problem.

2 Chrome windows.  One has 1 tab open (where I am submitting the file to
a website using a Browse button).  The other has 20 tabs open to
different websites where I am saving pictures to my hard drive.  I went
to a tab, saved the picture I needed in
/home/user_name/pictures/folder_name and then repeated this for each
tab.  I then went to the other window to submit one of the photos.  When
the file dialog window came up, there were 20 pictures to choose from so
I sorted by name.  I picked the one I wanted which was 7th down on the
list.  I clicked Open and the correct filename appeared next to the
Browse button.  After filling in the other form information (business
name, address, etc) I submitted the form.  The wrong file was uploaded.
The file that was uploaded was 1st in the list, not 7th.

I tried what other users above have tried and it didn't change anything.
That first file was the one uploaded.

So I tried using Firefox the same way.  20 tabs in one window, one tab
in the other.  It did the same thing.  Uploaded whatever file had been
saved last into that directory, which in this case was alphabetically
first.

Here's the kicker.  The website uses Ubuntu on their server as well with
Apache 2.24 or something like that.  So I went to the other end of my
house and got on my wife's Windows computer.  I opened the site with the
picture I needed, opened another tab and went to the edit page for the
form I submitted, and tried to change the picture, and it wouldn't
change it.  I have since booted into Windows on this computer and tried
and it still won't work.  I had to delete the form and start over to get
it to go in right.  Very annoying.

So now I'm having to do my work in the mornings in Windows and then I
can boot into Ubuntu for the rest of the day.

I will try to reproduce this bug with smaller numbers of tabs because I
can imagine how irritating it would be to open up 20 tabs just to
reproduce a bug for debugging purposes.  This is just my experience from
early this morning.
