Description
Seen in 10.9.1 RC2 with
occ config:system:set file_storage.save_version_author --type boolean --value true
- admin adds a 'New text file.txt' and does several edits with files_texteditor
- admin opens the details sidebar and inspects the versions.
- For all versions except for the current version, the author name is shown:

Expected behaviour:
- Near the top, under the filename, the line
< 1 KB, seconds agoshould say e.g.< 1KB, seconds ago, admin
This feature is only important in a shared scenario. When multiple users edit a file, they can see who did the second last change (and before), but they cannot see who did the very last change.
Workaround: one user commits a dummy edit, so that the change in question is listed under Versions.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with occ config:system:set file_storage.save_version_author --type boolean --value true, then inspect the details sidebar and Versions behavior in files_texteditor. Done means the current version shows its author near the filename, consistently with older versions, with a regression test covering the display.
