  Hello all, I’m running into inconsistencies when adding images in a Classic Block.

  Yesterday I added a single image to a Classic Block and after inserting was able to click on the image, click on the pencil icon and was brought to the Advanced Image Options screen where I could add a caption and do a number of other actions.

  Today doing the exact same thing brings me back to the Media Library screen.

  With Galleries in the Classic Block, I first click on the Add Media button in the Classic Block toolbar and the Media Library opens. I select a few images for a gallery, click the continue button and am brought to a screen to select layout and the Link options. I then insert the gallery. Up until then all is good. I save my changes.

  If I click on the Gallery again and click the pencil icon, I’m brought to a different screen with more layout options than the first screen.

  Running Firefox 81.0.1 (64-bit) Win10Pro. I routinely log out and clear my browser’s cache and cookies between sessions.

  Thanks for any insight.

  We’re aware of that one and just waiting on a fix over at https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/45480

  Sorry for the trouble!

  Thanks staff-blorbo!

  Does this also cover the Classic Block’s Gallery flow? :)

  Yes, it will affect anything with media in the Classic Block.
