Why is it not possible to share scanned documents in the app "Notes"?

Since the new major release 18.1.1, I am not able to share my scanned documents in the "Notes" app.


An infinite loader saying "Preparing..." is shown, when I click on "Share" in the dropdown menu for the scanned document. See the image attached to this message.


The interesting thing is that after approximately 10 days, if I click the "Share" button in the dropdown menu, it will successfully show me the different options to share the scanned document.


Here are the exact steps to reproduce the problem:


  • Create a note in the app "Notes"
  • Scan a document
  • Scan at least one document
  • Finish the scan
  • On the scanned document in the note, click on the arrow to open the dropdown menu
  • Click on "Share"
  • -> Infinite loader saying "Preparing..."!
