Chat Upload Bug

Hi, I want to report a problem I found when uploading files or images in chat DMs.

  • When User A uploads File A in a post or chat, it works fine and the file is registered correctly.

  • But when User B downloads File A and then tries to upload it again in another chat:

    • If User B sends the file without text, they get an error:

      Message is too short, must have a minimum of 1 character.
      
      
    • If User B sends the file with text, only the text is sent — the attachment is missing.

However, if User A re-uploads the same file again, it works fine and the file is included in the message.

My question:
Is this the intended behavior, where only the original uploader can re-use an uploaded file? Or should other users also be able to upload and send the same file in chat?

Yeah this sounds like a bit of a glitch, someone will have a look over the next few weeks, happy to put a PR welcome on this in the interim.
