      Issue Summary

      Microsoft Visio files (.vsd) containing binary data fail to display the Download button in the UI and are instead rendered as corrupted text in Bitbucket 9.5.0 and above.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Commit a Microsoft Visio file (.vsd extension containing binary data) to a Bitbucket repository. Open and view the file in the Bitbucket UI.

      Expected Results

      Bitbucket identifies the file as binary, prevents text rendering in the UI, and provides a Download button.

      Actual Results

      Bitbucket attempts to render the binary content directly as text, displaying corrupted characters without offering a download option.

      Workaround

      Navigate to the file on the Bitbucket UI. Right-click the Raw button, select Save link as, and save the file locally.
