Artefact chooser giving false positive for dirty changes Bug #1228917

To test:
- create a subdirectory in content -> files section
- add some files there
- go back to parent dir and edit a file's metadata but don't save it
- try moving back into subdirectory. It should warn you about changes
this is correct behaviour

Now begin to make a journal entry, pust some text into some fields
- select 'add a file' and go to navigate to subdirectory
- gives you warning but it shouldn't
this is incorrect behaviour

after patch applied the first part should still be have correctly and
the second part should not give the warning when moving between
directories.

Title:
  false positive on changing folders in file attachments

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.
