Google Chrome freeze uploading a file

My Google Chrome app freezes when I select a file from an HTML input tag of type "file".

This is a very simple code to reproduce the error:

After I select any file, and even if I click on cancel, the Chrome window becomes unresponsive. I cannot click on anything, change the tab or close the windows.

I tried to disable "Use hardware acceleration when available", but it doesn't solve the problem.

System:

• Chrome Version 100.0.4896.127 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
• HP HP ProBook 450 G8 Notebook PC*
• Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics (TGL GT2)

As proposed by Olivier Tilloy in the bug report, the command

sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

solved my problem.

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 on Xorg with Nvidia card.
