Description

FileReader.readAsText() ALWAYS returns a TypeMisMatchError.
None of the event listeners for the FileReader are ever fired (Even the onerror event is NEVER fired).
However, if you place the FileReader.readAsText() method in a try/catch block, it will ALWAYS return a TypeMisMatchError.

e.g.
try
{
fileReader.readAsText(file);
}
catch(error)
{
console.log(error.message);
}
