I easily get around it by modifying the code to check the filename to ensure we don't do the same file twice in a row:

```
def runAction(self, event):
	# Grab the file name and data
	filename = event.file.name
	filedata = event.file.getString()
	
    # Check if this file has just been uploaded - to stop a double import (potential platform/browser bug)
	if filename <> self.custom.filename:
		# Call the import function on the table
		self.parent.parent.getChild("Table").importCSV(filename, filedata)
		self.custom.filename = filename
	else:
		self.custom.filename = ''

```
