Description

Attached screenshot shows only the bottom sliver of a JPEG which appears fully in the post. This isn't a one time problem, but I can't pinpoint when it started.

(Rating this low priority out of my own POV.YMMV!)

Hm. Could you please forward the email to me? Or check out the message source and paste it here? There are a couple of inline styles applied specifically to images that appear in these notifications.

I'll email a few to you now

After some back and forth with Marilyn, it looks like this might be client-specific - she's seeing this behavior in Outlook. Ray, is there a chance that you have Outlook and can test there? I'll forward you a message that demonstrates the issue.

I'm afraid I don't have access to the desktop version of Outlook.

I forwarded one of Marilyn's emails to an Outlook.com address and it looked okay on the webmail version there. Probably not the same rendering engine as the desktop version though.

I'll also test Outlook's Android app and see if it looks any different there.

Yes, it looks fine on a browser (via https://wa.gc.cuny.edu/owa/ - screenshot attached) and also perfect via the app on my phone.

Really, this is low priority. There are many other irritating, non-Commons problems with trying to look at images on the GC desktop outlook, I'm sure no one event blinks at this.

Thanks, Marilyn. I agree that this is not high priority :) I'll bump this to future release, and if we get someone who can easily test with Outlook, we can take a look then.

This is still happening for me, but not for one of my students. The plot thickens! See attached screenshots.

Good news is that this makes this even lower priority than before

The student reports "I am using the web version of Outlook on 10.13.6 Mac OS on a Vivaldi browser 2.8.1664.35."

I vacillate between thinking the fault is my PC or the GC servers.

The student reports "I am using the web version of Outlook on 10.13.6 Mac OS on a Vivaldi browser 2.8.1664.35."

This student and myself have tested the web version of Outlook and Marilyn has also tested Outlook Web Access (OWA) and that works as well.

Marilyn, do you happen to know the version of Outlook on Windows that you're seeing the problem on? Is it 2013 or some other version?

No it's the latest - "Office Professional 2019 with Classic 2019 versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, plus Publisher and Access"

I'm going through my old tickets. I think this can be closed.
