 After clicking Add New the uploader flies in. The status of the button is
 unchanged, clicking it again will hide the uploader again. I think the
 button should hold the active state while the uploader is visible.

 Correct me if I'm wrong but currently there is no other place where we let
 elements fly around. And we shouldn't start to this. I want the uploader
 immediately and don't want to wait for a second until the animation has
 finished. I prefer more something like we have on media-new.php or theme-
 install.php?upload, which is less distracting for uploading files.

 We probably should also mention, that the whole screen is a dropzone for
 the uploader.


 '''Related Issues:'''

 * When you scroll to the end of the grid and click Add New you will get
 the uploader which overlays the the first half of the media. So it's
 possible that you won't see that you media has been uploaded because the
 new media is placed on top of the list, which I currently can't see. Feels
 wrong.
 * Uploaded files will be selected, also when uploading multiple files, but
 multiple selection should be disabled until bulk edit is activated.
