Bug: Resized images do not stick when editing

There is a very annoying bug in that the resize parameters of an image in the cache description are forgotten when editing the cache page. Every time I change a bit of text I have to resize the image again. Especially annoying if I have to make an edit a year later and can't remember what the original image settings were!

 

To replicate the fault:

 

When editing a cache page (eg creating a new one) ...

When using the user-friendly description editor

Insert a picture

Select save and view. Note the size of the image

Go back to editing the description.

Right click image, select image properties.

Resize the image - eg enter 50%, or a number of pixels, into the width field.

Select save and view - note the image is now resized.

Go back to editing the description.

change some text.

Select Save and view.

Note that the image is now the original size!

 

The setting of the padlock has no effect on this.

I have just been having this exact same problem. I have a lot of images in the description, resized them all, and then when I went to re-edit, they had all reverted to their original size. This happened a few times before I realised there is a bug.

That is the reason why I only use html.

For people how can not write html code, there are several working html WYSIWYG editors where you can export your hml and paste it to the html field on the cache edit page.

I've been using WYSIWYG, then after my picture's set up, I switch to Source and save it.  After that, it's trivial to edit the text a little without losing the picture formatting.

 

Another option, especially if the OP's question is about size only, is to size the images as desired before uploading them.

This. Using HTML to resize images is inefficient and can be unpredictable.

I have done exacltly the same after I found that no style settings of images do not survive after additional editing.

For me the WYSIWYG is unpredictable and the HTML is a easy and effect way.
