ALT text always covers part of the image

Open bactram opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Describe the bug As you can see in the screenshot, the ALT text covers the bottom part of the image. There is text there that I want to read. Please make it so that the ALT text can be collapsed or moved so it doesn't cover the image.

This is on phanpy.social, version 2024.05.15.6976191 on instance mstdn.social.

To Reproduce View any image that

  1. is large enough to go to the bottom of the screen
  2. Has ALT text long enough to cover the image

Expected behavior A way to collapse, close, or move the alt text so it doesn't cover the bottom of the image.

@bactram try click on the image.

Clicking on the image does not fix it for me. But "open original media" is a workaround (for the very small cases that the ALT text is obscuring something)

One nice thing here might be to copy how GotoSocial handles alt text - by putting the alt text to the right of the image when you expand it. Really handy when you want to be able to see the full image + the alt text.

Clicking the image does not hide the alt-text, at least in my tests.

Workarounds I found:

  • Moving the cursor outside of the chrome window, which makes all the Phanpy media-viewer interface move away (alt-text, and also X button as well as "..." and "View post" buttons).
  • Right-clicking to open the Context menu, which also makes all the Phanpy media-viewer interface move away.

Both always work, as far as I can tell. Using Phanpy 2025.04.28.5849b4d (macOS, Firefox 130.0).

Same.

  • Moving the cursor outside of the chrome window, which makes all the Phanpy media-viewer interface move away (alt-text, and also X button as well as "..." and "View post" buttons).

Sadly I am running Safari full-screen but if I shrink it and move the cursor outside, it removes everything but the alt-text.

  • Right-clicking to open the Context menu, which also makes all the Phanpy media-viewer interface move away.

Sadly does not work on Safari.
