Description

The MediaUpload component gallery and allowedTypes attributes do not function as documented when used in combination. If gallery is used, effective allowedTypes appears to always be image.

This forces major development efforts to replicate the same functionality where other file types are in play, as with Document Gallery for example.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Create MediaUpload element with below configuration and non-image files available. Confirm that the available files in dialog are exclusively images.

<MediaUpload
  gallery={true}
  allowedTypes='application,video,text,audio,image'
  render={({open}) => (
	  <Button
		  variant='secondary'
		  onClick={open}
	  >
		  Select files
	  </Button>
  )}
  />

2. Create MediaUpload element with below configuration and non-image files available. Confirm that all files are displayed in dialog.

<MediaUpload
  allowedTypes='application,video,text,audio,image'
  render={({open}) => (
	  <Button
		  variant='secondary'
		  onClick={open}
	  >
		  Select files
	  </Button>
  )}
  />
