Public bug reported:

Precondition: threaded comments is set up.

When the portfolio owner, OwnerA, replies privately to a comment made by
someone else, Commenter1, and includes a file attachment, Commenter1
cannot see the attachment because Commenter1 wasn't the one who added
the attachment to the private comment. Commenter1 can see the comment
because it's a reply to a comment they had made. But the file sits in
the file area of OwnerA and because it's a private comment that they
made is not visible to Commenter1.

That shouldn't be the case. When someone responds to a private comment
in a conversation that they've been involved in, they should also be
able to see any associated attachments.

To replicate:

1. Site admin enables threaded comments in the institution in which OwnerA and Commenter1 are members of.
2. OwnerA sets up a portfolio page.
3. Commenter1 leaves a private comment on the page.
4. OwnerA replies to that comment and attaches an attachment.
5. Commenter1 can see the comment.
Expected result: They also have access to the attachment to download it.
Actual result: They can't access the attachment.
