Description

Embedded link previews (e.g. when pasting a whiteboard link into the Text editor, or when selecting "New whiteboard" from the Text attachment actions menu) don't render any content.

The preview container stays empty.

When inspecting the preview container, it contains a .excalidraw-container element that has further child elements, but nothing is visible in the preview container.

Reproducible on Nextcloud 32, 33 and with latest main/master branches.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Nextcloud 32 or 33 by pasting a whiteboard link into the Text editor or choosing “New whiteboard” from the attachment actions. Inspect the preview container and its .excalidraw-container children; done means the embedded preview renders visible content instead of remaining empty.
