Description

The File plugin includes ProgressEvent.js, an implementation that mimics ProgressEvent objects for the FileReader/FileWriter objects, but does not include the usual event methods, etc.

When the File plugin is added to a project, any existing ProgressEvent implementation native to the browser environment is overwritten with this one, breaking code outside of the plugin that relies on ProgressEvent functionality.
