Public bug reported:

Apparently at random in one portfolio many images are missing from a
Collection of Pages.  When maquerading as user clicking these files  in
their file repository yields 'access denied'. There is a generic 'image'
icon there and a KB value for the file.

In another portfolio the file is a spreadsheet and the same 'access
denied' issue occurs both when attempting to download it from the
Collection and also when trying direct access in the file area . But not
with all spreadsheets  ...

These Collections have all been submitted as secret urls to a Moodle
Assignment and yet, even when I delete the secret urls's in Mahara so
that there is nothing to link to, I still get 'access denied'

The same effect does NOT show up in half a dozen other Collections that
other users have submitted.

I am at a loss - is this a bug or some obscure misuse that I have not
yet detected.

Thanks for your attention
