Comment (by azaozz):

 > updating the WordPress moxie.js file to its latest version.

 That's not possible, the license for the newer versions has changed and is
 not compatible. See #48277.

 Looking a bit more there and trying to figure out why this is needed.
 Seems it was added (years ago) to support use of Flash for the "select
 files" button. The `div.moxie-shim` is positioned where the "Select Files"
 button is (when going to the media modal => upload), but doesn't seem to
 make difference for HTML 5.0.

 Seems it may need a bit more testing in "obscure browsers", but setting it
 to display: none doesn't seem to break it for the HTML 5.0 "runtime". The
 patch should probably use `div.moxie-shim.moxie-shim-html5` to target it
 specifically.
