Description

When you navigate to a file that has a space in the file name the URL gets escaped to `.../file%20name.txt` but you cannot see the contents or edit it.
Instead, you get the message `File not found!`.

Research direction

Start by reproducing navigation to a file whose name contains a space and inspect how the escaped URL is handled. Trace the file lookup and editing entry points; done means files with spaces load their contents and can be edited instead of showing “File not found!”.
