Expected Behavior

When loading a webpage with a WebContentsView, clicking on an <input type="file"> does not bring up a file selector.

This can be reproduced with the following test that brings up two windows:

  1. Window 1 is a BrowserWindow with the HTML loaded in the BrowserWindow.
    In this window, clicking on the "Choose File" button brings up the file selector.
  2. Window 2 is a BrowserWindow with a WebContentsView added as a child view of its contentView.
    In this window, clicking on the "Choose File" button does not bring up the file selector.

file.html

<html>
<body>
  <input type="file" name="file">
</body>
</html>

index.js

const { app, BrowserWindow, WebContentsView } = require("electron");

app.whenReady().then(() => {
  const win1 = new BrowserWindow({ x: 100, y: 100 });
  win1.loadFile("file.html");

  const win2 = new BrowserWindow({ x: 500, y: 500 });
  const wcv = new WebContentsView();
  win2.contentView.addChildView(wcv);
  wcv.setBounds({x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 300 });
  wcv.webContents.loadFile("file.html");
});

Actual Behavior

When loading a webpage with a WebContentsView, clicking on an <input type="file"> does not bring up a file selector.
