Comment (by afercia):

 I've uploaded the image from the WPCampus complete technical report PDF
 document (329 pages) and one more image for clarification, as I think the
 image from the report identifies only one of the possible cases.

 It's important to note that **the media uploader behavior actually differs
 depending on the error type**, for example:
 - file exceeding allowed size or file with no extension: the error is
 displayed inline below the "Select Files" button (first image)
 - empty file: the modal switches to the media grid and the error is
 displayed in the sidebar (second image)

 This makes things a bit more complicated.

 Regardless, in this case there's no text input field nor form submission.
 There's a "Select Files" button. In any case the error message should be
 displayed underneath the button otherwise it may be outside the viewport
 for some users or difficult to find for other users e.g. Braille-only
 users.

 Note: When in doubt, please refer to the WPCampus complete report, as some
 details may have been list when moving issues from GitHub to Trac.
