Description
If the name of a folder containing the file being previewed has a hashtag in the name, instead of showing the file, it will give an error (first image), or, if the first character of the folder name is a hashtag, it will show a directory tree (second image).

Research direction
Reproduce the live preview failure with a webpage inside a folder whose name contains “#”, including a name beginning with “#”. Trace how the preview server or page URL handles that folder name; done means the page opens normally in both cases without showing an error or directory tree.
