Images disapper from the Builder Preview in encrypted message drafts after page reload

AI-generated summary

Users are experiencing issues with images in encrypted message drafts. meglio reported that uploaded images disappear from the Builder Preview after reloading the page, although they reappear when the post is submitted. meglio also mentioned another issue where pasted images from the buffer are displayed incorrectly in the preview. However, sam noted that Discourse Encrypt has been deprecated and issues with the plugin will no longer be tracked, suggesting that a third-party plugin is needed to address these problems.

  1. Upload images to an enrypted message.
  2. Minimize it to save the draft.
  3. Navigate through multiple pages.
  4. Reload the forum completely
  5. Go back to the encrypted p2p message
  6. Open the draft
  7. All images are lost

Note: If I submit the post nevertheless, the images appear in the posted message - they are there. But the previous stops working and I could not find any workaround to let it display the images again while I’m still editing the draft.

Another issue that might be either related to or the effect of the same bug:

Sometimes, when I Cmd+V an image from the buffer and into the editor, it uploads the image, but shows a wrong image in the preview.

The following screenshot demonstrateS how after pasting two different images into the text composer from the buffer with using Cmd+V, none of the images in the preview are what I have inserted:

Discourse Encrypt has been deprecated we are no longer tracking issues with the plugin on meta.

To move anything forward here a third party plugin will need to be created and maintained (in a dedicated plugin topic)
