Tap the file attachment to open it.
Observe that the app shows a loading spinner but the file never opens.

Expected behaviour

The file should open normally, either within the app or via an external viewer.

Actual behaviour

The file appears to load indefinitely and never actually opens.

Additional information

When sending a file with special characters in the filename (especially the hash symbol #) via Nextcloud Talk on Android, tapping the file results in an endless loading state and the file never opens. This issue does not appear on the web version of Nextcloud Talk. It seems the Android app mishandles URL encoding or fragment identifiers when opening attachments.
