[Bug 12213] New: What!? Is this a joke, if I get the value of an input element in 'filename' mode, I get the filename with an extra string prepended to it, so that to use the filename I will always have to strip the first 12 characters? That is really messed up.

           Summary: What!? Is this a joke, if I get the value of an input
                    element in 'filename' mode, I get the filename with an
                    extra string prepended to it, so that to use the
                    filename I will always have to strip the first 12
                    characters? That is really messed up.
