As designed When uploading an avatar the selected image disappears

The image appears to go up, but disappears without giving you time to click on Okay.
Some users upload their avatar multiple times and this could be the reason if the image is processed without clicking Okay.

It also happens in xenforo.com.
Windows 11 + Chrome 128.0.6613.120.
 
When you say it disappears, do you mean the overlay is closed or the image reverts to the old avatar (or something else)?
 
After selecting the image file in the dialog box, the avatar image is loaded and "No file selected" ("Ningún archivo seleccionado" in Spanish) is displayed again.
But the avatar did upload, without giving the user the option to click Okay. It is quite confusing.

This is always how avatar uploading has behaved. Per the note up top, the avatar can be dragged to change the cropping (if the image is not square) and the 'Okay' confirms the final cropping. The browser should display its own confirm/cancel dialog when choosing a file if you want to back out of the change.
