The Tracked "Files" option is not working correctly in IE, Chrome, Opera, or Firefox.

This time I used Tiki 11.1svn.

Simple tracker, with one field, "Files" type.

Testing with IE 10:
Starting with an empty tracker and an empty file gallery.
Select the tracker. Select the "Insert New Item". Select "Browse" and browse to file, highlight it, and click on Open.
The file is immediately added to the File Gallery, before you click "Save" for the tracker item.
If you abandon the tracker item insert, the file stays in the file gallery, and the tracker stays empty.

Testing with Chrome:
Starting with an empty tracker and an empty file gallery.
Select the tracker. Select the "Insert New Item". Select "Choose Files" and browse to file, highlight it, and click on Open.
The file is immediately added to the File Gallery, before you click "Save" for the tracker item.
If you abandon the tracker item insert, the file stays in the file gallery, and the tracker stays empty.

Testing with Opera
Starting with an empty tracker and an empty file gallery.
Select the tracker. Select the "Insert New Item". Select "Add files" and browse to file, highlight it, and click on Open.
The file is immediately added to the File Gallery, before you click "Save" for the tracker item.
If you abandon the tracker item insert, the file stays in the file gallery, and the tracker stays empty.

Testing with Firefox:
Starting with an empty tracker and an empty file gallery.
Select the tracker. Select the "Insert New Item". Select "Browse" and browse to file, highlight it, and click on Open.
The file is immediately added to the File Gallery, before you click "Save" for the tracker item.
If you abandon the tracker item insert, the file stays in the file gallery, and the tracker stays empty.

When you do use the "Save" option for the tracker item, when using IE, the file is added to the File Gallery a second time, but with the other browsers, the file is not added to the File Gallery for the second time.

I would think that the file should NOT be added to the file Gallery when it is selected, but only AFTER the tracker Item save is selected.
