FileUpload:drag & drop does not replace existing file

[lennertVanSever]

Describe the bug

I’m using the <FileUpload> component like this:

<FileUpload
  name="demo[]"
  url="/api/upload"
  accept="image/*"
  maxFileSize={1000000}
  emptyTemplate={
    <p className="m-0">Drag and drop files here to upload.</p>
  }
/>

When I select a file using the choose button, everything works as expected: if I pick a new file, it replaces the old one.

However, drag & drop behaves differently. If a file is already selected and I drag a new file in, nothing happens — the old file stays in place instead of being replaced by the new one.

Here’s a minimal example on StackBlitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/tajnbybz?file=src%2FApp.jsx

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to the reproduction example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/tajnbybz?file=src%2FApp.jsx
2. Drag and drop an image file into the drop area.
3. Drag and drop a different image file into the drop area again.

Result: Nothing happens — the original file remains selected.
Expected: The new file should replace the previously selected one, just like when using the choose button.

Expected behavior

When dragging and dropping a new file into the drop area, it should replace the previously selected file, the same way it does when choosing a file through the button.
