UncrownedGuard Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 I have noticed that IPS seems to be very overzealous on auto-embedding content as an image since the last update. This appears to be an issue on self-hosted, cloud, and even here. A link such as https://offtopic.com/ is being grabbed as an image during pasting and just showing as a broken image. This seems to be pretty common for most links. I am on Chrome via Chrome OS (fully updated) at this time and can not confirm if the problem is also on Windows as I am at work.
Solution Jim M Posted March 5, 2023 Solution Posted March 5, 2023 Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release. SeNioR- 1

Attached is an example (https://www.theadminzone.com/). This was on windows using Firefox and does the same on Chrome (both fully updated). Links seem hit or miss, but definitely easy to find some to auto-embed. Recording 2023-03-19 090609.mp4 Edited March 19, 2023 by UncrownedGuard

Management Matt Posted March 19, 2023 Management Posted March 19, 2023 Do you have any chrome plugins that may affect the editor?

I can reproduce it on all my browsers, the only thing I have that may affect it is Grammarly for Windows. However, I can also reproduce it on my Chromebook which does not have Grammarly, and also on my phone's browser.
Randy Calvert Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 I can't reproduce it on my Mac, iPhone, or iPad. I tried it on a Windows VM using Chrome and could not reproduce it either.
AlexWebsites Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 I just reproduced on this site, in this topic. Chrome desktop browser. UncrownedGuard 1
Management Matt Posted March 20, 2023 Management Posted March 20, 2023 I really can’t reproduce it on any browser. The link shouldn’t attempt to embed as it’s not a whitelisted URL. UncrownedGuard 1
Nathan Explosion Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Reproduced on Firefox and Chrome...no plugins in the browser: It's definitely being submitted to check if it needs to be embedded, and it appears to be detected as an image. Here's the request: And here's the response: Not reproducible using https://www.ynwa.tv though (image = false) Edited March 20, 2023 by Nathan Explosion AlexWebsites and UncrownedGuard 2

Management Matt Posted March 20, 2023 Management Posted March 20, 2023 I can actually reproduce, I think it's a Cloudflare issue. We rely on the new Image() javascript method to tell us if the image is valid or not. It appears in this case, Chrome is reporting that those links are valid images, while Safari is not. I'll do some digging but it might be beyond our ability to fix if Cloudflare is manipulating the response. UncrownedGuard 1
