Mention new draft post works correctly too.
  • While drafting or editing a post images do not show in the rendered post preview. Instead the alt text is displayed:
  • ![Mouse pointer hovering over the voting buttons showing a score of 0.5](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/98swkfddsil22rvcpla3qbrowg8x)
  • *(For me this now shows correctly as an image, so it looks like this is fixed.)*
  • This has only happened recently. I suspected it was since the default alt text was changed from "Image alt text" to "Image_alt_text", but even after typing over the default with some meaningful alt text the image still does not show in the preview, so I don't think the alt text change is related.
  • After saving the post, the image also does not show in the saved post - instead showing the alt text.
  • Old posts still show old images correctly, and editing them shows those images in the preview, but adding a new image shows only the alt text.

Images do not display in the post preview
While drafting or editing a post images do not show in the rendered post preview. Instead the alt text is displayed:

![Mouse pointer hovering over the voting buttons showing a score of 0.5](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/98swkfddsil22rvcpla3qbrowg8x)

This has only happened recently. I suspected it was since the default alt text was changed from "Image alt text" to "Image_alt_text", but even after typing over the default with some meaningful alt text the image still does not show in the preview.
