This sounds like a focus thing more-so than a file-path thing. In 507.1256 this should be resolved with winset() and focus param.

From your video it appears that if something new happens in DS than it diverts the focus to DS instead of the file browser. Can you confirm this? Try to have nothing happen in DS and then have something that would cause an update (like how when the player was coming towards your ghost and a verb would appear in the statpanel) and see if that is what is causing the focus diversion.

Empty project with only me connected with 1 verb.

I still can't replicate this at all. From your video I see no way why the file browser would lose focus.
/edit/The specific behavior is that you're not even able to interact with DS while a file browser is open.

I'm not sure what's going on now, to be honest.
I'm trying:
mob/verb/upload_file(upload_file as file)

Do you have a copy of that project with just the one verb? I've never seen this but if you have an example I can try it.

You don't even need to have a verb; the built in logging feature has the same issue in the save file dialogue.

Your zip doesn't seem to include all of the files.

What? its just an empty project with a verb that opens up a file selection window.

Actually, I can't recreate it on that ZIP, I can DEFINELTY recreate it in SS13 though.

For me it's even worse, every time something gets typed into the game instead of the file window, the file window gets BEHIND the game, AND looses focus

It has no such verb. When I opened the project it told me it couldn't find one of the files. There appears to have been a packaging error.

It works fine, just open the .dmb

I can't replicate the issue though..
