Google search Chrome won't let Gmail attach a file to an email: http://goo.gl/PnGTW

I only skimmed thru the first half dozen or so results, no clear answer given. I don't use Chrome so I really don't have any suggestions beyond clearing the cache?? ...which you've prolly already tried.

Common workaround suggested is using "Drag n Drop" to send attachment in Chrome/GMail.

FWIW, works fine in FFox 14

...but many web based emails open a popup to accomplish the file attachment. Perhaps you have different popup blocking settings for these browsers.
