Description

To replicate:

Using a regular desktop client, create 2 files.

  • test.txt

then

  • test.rtf

(the files can be blank, the contents don't matter). test.txt will be shown on the iOS client, however test.rtf will not be visible. Renaming the filename to test 2.rtf will cause it to appear.

Server - 33.0.3
iOS Client - 33.0.8.1

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the iOS client using blank test.txt and test.rtf files against the stated server and client versions. Trace the client’s file-listing behavior for files sharing a root name, then verify that both extensions are visible while the renamed test 2.rtf also remains visible.
