File input hangs on Precessing when selecting the same file again

[ferdossi]

Prerequisites

• [x ] I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
• [ x] The issue still exists against the latest master branch of bootstrap-fileinput.
• [x ] This is not an usage question. I confirm having read the plugin documentation and demos.
• [x ] This is not a general programming / coding question. (Those should be directed to the webtips Q & A forum).
• [x ] I have attempted to find the simplest possible steps to reproduce the issue.
• I have included a failing test as a pull request (Optional).

Steps to reproduce the issue

1.Use Advanced Example 8 file input component in the demo page https://plugins.krajee.com/file-input
2.Select a file but don't upload
3.Select the same file again, it hangs on "Precessing..."

Expected behavior and actual behavior

When I follow those steps, I see the precessing spinner never ending

I was expecting to have an error message saying the file is already selected

Noting a CSS fix to be done for such an exception case.

Hi cannot reproduce the error. Can you check if its not a local browser caching issue at your end (clean up browser cache and restart and retry).

[ferdossi]

Hi, that is what I just did, tried in incognito mode, and I can reproduce it.
