Bug description & reproduction steps

Uploading same media after failing first (due to a timeout or instance crashing) isn't possible. The file won't upload and and won't show up in the file list for posts.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start local FE and BE
  2. Log in
  3. Completely stop BE (Ctrl-C and Abort)
  4. Start BE back up
  5. Try to upload the same file again

Note: Stopping BE mid-upload also has the same effect.

Bug seriousness

  • How annoying it is: A lot on unreliable connections
  • How often does it happen: Always
  • How many people does it affect: Dunno
  • Is there a workaround for it: Uploading a different file and then uploading the first one; reloading FE; in the case of replies, saving them as draft and continuing composing again

This issue was previously reported and lost in the GitLab DB rollback.
