Comment(by thomaswamm):

 I reproduced it again, using same Browse-95 in joyride-2301. No other
 activities launched (except Journal).  The XO was Restarted not long
 before trying this.

 I created a new Trac ticket using these steps in Browse:

     * clicked '''New Ticket'''
     * filled in the form with Summary, Description, selected component,
 etc.
     * selected 'I have files to attach...'
     * clicked '''preview''', then reviewed my inputs
     * clicked '''create ticket''', then received 'Add Attachment' web page
 as seen in screenshot
     * clicked '''Browse''' button on the page, but '''nothing happened'''
 !

 At this point, I exploited bug #7498 by launching a second Browse, going
 back to my first Browse and clicking the '''Browse''' button again, then
 going to the second Browse and finally seeing the '''Choose an object'''
 dialog box.  I used this work-around 3 times to attach 3 files to my new
 ticket #8246 (which is irrelevant to this ticket).

 Hope that helps.  Incidentally, you are correct that the checkbox 'I have
 files to attach...' only appears when creating a new ticket, not when
 adding to an existing ticket.  Until now I had been confused by that.  So
 my original Description is incorrect when I wrote '(or add to)'.

 I am mystified why you were unable to reproduce this bug.  It has affected
 me several times, and is now so predictable.
