Bug Report

Describe the issue: This post's preview image failed to load and was rendered on top of the title. I've only seen this happening to this exact post, so I'm not sure if this has something to do with the image failing do decompress.

PS the fail on the images rendering is: Failed to decompress image.

PSS if you wish I test something I'm happy to help

If you enable the covert images to webp setting, that image will load properly. Tap on that link to turn it on. I'm guessing the app just needs to add support for that avid file format.

I already have this enabled :(

The log in your post mentioned it was off. This setting does require you to close and reopen the app to take effect. It's on by default so I didn't have the problem but I did turned it off to verify.

That's really weird! I've had that setting on during the bug report and after. However now I've disabled it and it no longer renders on top of the title. However it still fails to load.

That's for the help tho <3

That's odd, I remember the picture loaded fine with webp on. Now it's not loading regardless in v1.0.420.

EDIT: Funny thing is if you have link preview enabled, the preview shows the picture just fine.

It's kind of in a half fixed state right now as I rushed v420 out but basically Flutter (what Connect is written in) doesn't support .avif images by default so I need to add a special library to handle it. There should be a proper fix coming in 421.
