Loading Animation on channel file list blocks user input #14903

Description:

For a channel with many files, enough that they would need pagination/load more button, it appears that the loading animation simply doesn't go away, making it impossible to browse the file list. Not even the close button is functional during this.

If I edit it with the browser dev tools to delete the loading modal thing, it's perfectly functional and shows everything had indeed been loaded. Had a user encounter this same thing on his mobile phone browser, too.

Expected behavior:

For the loading animation to go away after a few seconds at most.

Actual behavior:

It hangs and due to it being opaque to clicks, blocks usage of the entire sidebar.

file list infinite loading censored
