I'm running Fedora 27 and sometime during the last 3 days or so a problem has
started occurring that causes it to take 15 seconds to unlock the screen and
turn on the display. While it is unlocking the keyboard becomes unresponsive
(hitting the caps lock key for instance doesn't turn on the LED)
There are several options for uploading multiple files from browsers -
and the latest versions of all modern browsers support multiple file
selection.
A random example is this one:
