Hello,
The image in chat expanded by default and I can open in lightbox but If I collapse and expand again the lightbox will not work.
Repro:
1. Collapse an image
2. Expand it again
3. Lightbox will not work anymore
Thanks 🙂

Thanks for the great report, super easy to reproduce! It is now confirmed to be fixed: [PR](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/pull/528). We’ll have to give it some time to be propagated to meta.

That should fix it:

> Prior to this fix, the upload was removed from DOM when collapsed and not decora…ted again on expand, which was causing lightbox to not get reapplied. The fix is reverting to previous state where content was not removed from DOM.
Thanks
