Text app locks files, and doesn't release the lock, when invoked through the desktop client

[seindal]

Describe the bug

Under GNOME, with the nautilus-nextcloud extension, it is possible to open the Text app directly from the local file manager. The Text app locks the file, which the desktop client turns read-only locally, but when the browser window is closed, the lock is not released, and the local file remains read-only.

The lock is indefinite, and there is no way to unlock the file, except maybe through the web-interface, but this workflow doesn't use the web-interface.

To Reproduce

1. Open a synced folder in GNOME Files
2. Right-click on a markdown file, select Nextcloud, and Open in browser.
3. Make a change to the file in the new browser window.
4. The local file now turns read-only.
5. Close the browser windows.
6. The local file remains read-only.

Expected behaviour

The file should be unlocked when the editor is closed, and the local file should return to its previous permissions.
