Public bug reported:

The leave page (dirty changes) warning  appears on form pages where
there is a file attachment selector option in a form (eg journal
entries) when trying to go from one file directory to another.

To test:

1) Upload some file in Content -> files to a new subdirectory.

2) Fill in details on a form that has file attachments (eg Journal
entry)

3) Click 'Add a file' button and choose to navigate to a subdirectory

Expected result: go to the subdirectory and pick a file

Actual result: get prompted about leaving page

The bug is to do with the dirty changes patch and how file attachments
work. When changing directories the form looks to save it's state and
re-display itself but the dirty changes is not recognising this and
thinking data is being lost when it is not.
