    It seems as though you are able to shift-tab away after adding files to the file queue, likely because focus is on a file in the file queue and not on the flash movie.

    This is an issue that only Adobe can fix, but so far they seem unwilling. The best fix for us is to deprecate the Flash-based Uploader in favour of HTML 5 uploads where the browser supports it.

    This is also an issue in IE 8 , WIN 7

    This is not an issue in HTML5 browsers
