After dragging a file into gmail (JS file api) the file is left in a locked state after it has finished uploading. Other applications cannot edit or remove the file. This seems to persist until the tab is closed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. navigate to gmail
2. hit compose
3. drag file to attach
4. wait until upload complete
5. attempt to delete file from filesystem.
Actual Results:  
Windows reports the file is open in another program.

Expected Results:  
Deleted the file

Can you reproduce this if you run Firefox in the Firefox safemode ?

Also reported in gmail's forum, no official answer though:

Might be related to bug 578096, but I didn't try to make a simple testcase for this yet.

Fixed by 583863. This works for me now in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100909 Firefox/4.0b6pre. You can test with http://nightly.mozilla.org/ or the next beta release (Firefox 4 beta 6).
