Images with captions appear small in editor

    If I load a post that includes an image with a caption, the image appears incredibly small. This problem will fix itself if the page is reloaded, and seems to remain fixed until the browser is reset.

    Seems to occur in both Firefox and Chrome.

    I assume this is a site bug so I’m just reporting it, but if there’s anything I can do on my end, I’m all ears!

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    Worth noting that the problem is exclusive to the editor, the image appears correctly in the post itself.

    Hi! This is indeed a bug which we reported recently; we’re currently waiting on an update which will help resolve it. The reload hasn’t always worked in my experience!

    One temporary workaround that I’ve found is to de-activate the caption button on the image (which removes the caption altogether) and then re-activate it. You’ll need to then re-type the caption; but I’ve found that after saving that change and exiting/re-entering the editor, it seems to let the image show at the size you expect.

    Okay, thanks, I’ll keep that in mind! Hopefully the update comes soon.
