Error description

• In CQWeb, when modifying a record adding a new attachment and
  trying to save the record, if the validation of the record fails
  (typically some incorrect field value in some other tab), the
  attachment list shows a size of "0" for the new attachment.
  If the condition that caused the validation to fail is
  corrected, it will be able to save the record and the correct
  size for the attachment is set. SO this issue affects the size
  info only in between a record validation error and the saving of
  the record.
  This issue does not affect the CQ heavy client.
