Wrong images displayed on screen overlay

AI-generated summary

Users are discussing an issue with wrong images displayed on screen overlay in Discourse. tophee reports that on Android, navigating through multiple images in a post sometimes displays incorrect images, specifically from the stock material theme instead of the intended ones. sam confirms the issue is reproducible when oneboxing a local topic containing images.

tophee and sam discuss the possibility that “quoted” images are included in the carousel, causing the issue. tophee suggests having a separate carousel for each post, while sam proposes a simpler fix by removing the hyperlink from [image]. However, tophee questions whether this fix would merely hide the images and create other issues when unfolding quoted posts.

On Android, discourse sometimes displays the wrong images when navigating through multiple images in a post (in the screen layover that pops up when tapping an image).

Hm, I can’t repro this by clicking on [image] above. I can only repro by actually visiting the topic and clicking on an actual image there. (BTW: it’s not specific to mobile but also happens on desktop)

It is a repro, the issue you are seeing is that “quoted” images are in the carousel.

Ah, I see. The this issue is perhaps a bit more complicated than I thought, because I think it’s not a bad idea to have quoted images pop up when you click [Image]. So would it be possible to have that without adding them to the carousel? Perhaps there could be a separate carousel for each post?

its quite a simple fix, [image] really should not be a hyperlink.

So if you remove the hyperlink, that fixes it? Aren’t the images just hidden and will nevertheless be in the carousel?

If you remove the hyperlinks, what will happen when I unfold the quoted post, revealing the images? Will the then be in the carousel but disappear again when I collapse the quote again?
