Description
STR:
1. Upload a binary/text attachment (**not** an image/video) to an encrypted room.
2. Suppose that the media repo is having a bad day; alternatively, block requests to `/_matrix/media/v3/download/` in the devtools
3. Click on the attachment (**not** the "download" arrow, the attachment itself)
4. Observe:
Oddly, the download button works correctly (reports "Download failed").
