I am having the same problem with pdf files. The uploaded file has “-1” appended even though I tried to replace the original.
Thank you for confirming that so quickly. I think it would be a useful feature but I will keep comments on subject pages and remove comments from the ‘Contact’ page and add a contact form.
My problem was also a cache issue. The 2MB PDF files were being cached by Chrome.
I have WP4.4.2 and the latest EMR, I click the file (a 2MB PDF file) from the Media Library, go to Attachment Details, click ‘Upload a new file’, select the replacement file which has the same name, choose ‘Just replace the file’ and Upload. It seems to work and I see the Edit Media page and I click Update. The file has not changed.
