Description
Hi, it's been consistently happening on my Linux machine that the images won't load in chat (see attached).
I've found that sometimes they are viewable in the reply when I reply to them, and I can view them if they're in the team folder though.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the image-loading failure in chat on Linux, using the attached screenshot and the reported cases where replies or team-folder images work. Compare those cases to identify the affected chat path; done means images load consistently in the affected scenario without breaking the working cases.
