What happened?

1. Go to https://nand2tetris.github.io/web-ide/cpu.
2. ROM -> Pick folder -> Select local file and upload a file (in my case, BasicTest.bin). Observation: success, file picker is closed and the ROM is loaded with the program from the file.
3. Repeat the same action. Observation: failure, file picker remains open on "Choose a file".

Variations on the theme:

• Clearing the ROM (using the red CL button) after step 2 does not cause success in step 3.
• Reloading the page returns it to a state where step 2 succeeds (but not the repeat in step 3).
• Opening the test script first (7/BasicTest/BasicTest.tst) and then the file: file still opens the first time, but that clears the test script (unexpected). The file does not open the second time.

Additional Comments

Browser: Linux - Ubuntu 24.04 - using Chromium Version 131.0.6778.85 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)

WebIDE: Version 2024.49.1

This bug is a problem because when you are trying to debug a local assembler run, the ideal workflow would be: load test script -> repeatedly load assembly code.

The same behavior occurs in Opera 115.0.5322.119 on the same OS.

Can be reproduced with Chromium and Opera on a locally running build, Version 2024.52.0 commit hash cd2963f.

Note: Firefox does not exhibit this bug.
