Description
With richdocuments 9.0.4 and 9.0.5, opening a document (with a local test instance of Collabora Online) shows a spinner now in the center of the web page, that either (depending on circumstances that are unclear to me) disappears again shortly thereafter or stays on forever, even after the document got loaded successfully. No such spinner could be observed with richdocuments 9.0.3.
A theory is that this is related to https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments/commit/99e52d330aa2f54d056be2ad9b41ef6cfc61656a "fix(officeViewer): remove superfluous high z-index".

Research direction
Start by comparing the officeViewer changes in commit 99e52d330aa2f54d056be2ad9b41ef6cfc61656a with the 9.0.3 behavior. Reproduce document opening with a local Collabora Online instance and check whether the center spinner remains after the document loads. Done means the spinner no longer persists or appears unexpectedly in the affected versions.
