The third is that it would increase the discoverability of the feature.
Short of that, what we can do is make it so that the controls for all images are visible when you hover the preview panel, not individual images. As well as fix the issue on mobile (which might only be limited to my devices)
If we make the controls unconditionally visible, we can also spend a bit of time on making them look nicer.
Yeah I’d prefer these to be always visible and an overlay on top of the image so the spacing doesn’t appear to be larger in the composer vs the actual post.
One reason why we didn’t originally do this is because you’d see the controls flicker terribly as you typed. I think there were some changes made that reduced the flicker, but the controls are still removed from the DOM entirely once you start typing… once that gets sorted out absolutely go ahead and restyle them so they’re always appearing @johani!
But I still feel the meat here is that the issue is not properly discoverable and depends on hover.
@Johani maybe do a theme component for styling this now (since you can do pure CSS to get whatever you want) be sure to test this on a very very short image. Then install the component on dev and meta so we can live with it for a bit and decide if we prefer this or not?
