In my browser (Mozilla Firefox 66.0.3 with uBlock and uMatrix on Ubuntu 18.10) clicking the link-ified URL of the image opens the image in a new tab. Clicking the JPG box opens an empty new tab and simultaneously toggles inline expansion of the image. Dragging to resize the expanded image works, but it's not very reliable.

It shouldn't open a new tab, that's weird. /u/d3rr might be interested to know this. And clicking the link URL should just go to that page. Does every new link open a new tab in your browser? That sounds like a browser setting.

What do you mean it's not very reliable when you click-drag to resize? For me it works flawlessly. Maybe it's to do with your video settings in ubuntu perhaps. Not sure.

I have enabled open links in a new window in SaidIt preferences. I have enabled Open links in tabs instead of new windows in Firefox preferences.

I mean "unreliable" in the sense that if I drag too quickly or the pointer moves outside the boundaries of the expanded image then it stops resizing.

Neither of these things bother me enough to worry about. Just thought I'd mention them in case others have similar experiences.

Gotcha. Thank you for the reports, much appreciated. We'll look in to the issues for further updates.

I think I can fix your 'JPG' click opening a new tab. Thanks for the report.

Can you explain the possible cause in a sentence or two, and why I am the only one (apparently?) affected?

I'm not calling event.preventDefault() so your browser thinks you're clicking a (traditional) link. I think. You'll have to retest it for us once a fix goes out. Suspect your open in new tab setting exposed this flaw.

Weird. I think open in new tab is actually the factory default on Firefox. Does everyone use Google Chrome except me?

It is weird. It works as expected for me in FF with default settings.

I created a new, empty profile and the first thing I did was check the setting.

i see. well i pushed an update, see if it still acts weird. if it does, i would try disabling all of your add-ons and flushing browser cache for this site and see if that fixes it.

I created a new/empty Firefox profile. Clicking the link opens the image in a new tab. Clicking PNG expands the image inline. Same behavior now in my everyday Firefox profile with addons.

Yay
