Markdown editor images: should resize handle persist until user clicks out?

[micahscopes]

Summary

Previously, the resize handle was getting stuck even when the user clicked away, and I had trouble getting it to work using the existing code. Instead, I just made it so that at the end of each drag, the resize handle disappears.

Is this good enough? Or do we want to allow the user to be able to quickly resize a few times in a row without having to go into the menu each time?

How to reproduce

Real-life consequences

Currently, the user has to click the menu and click resize for each resize attempt.

This was from the original spec, but looks like it didn't make it in.

If it keeps the code simpler to make the resize handle disappear after drag ends, a good compromise that can reduce friction for the user could be to allow them to trigger drag on left-click of the image. Not to replace the menu option, but to supplement it.

Hi @shubhamachary56821, welcome.

If you haven't yet seen the contributing guidelines, I'd like to invite you to have a look at CONTRIBUTING.md.

Only unassigned 'help wanted' issues are open for contribution. There are no free 'help wanted' now so I recommend to refresh the list on weekly basis as we keep adding. Before then, we can't assign you any issues. Thanks for your interest and hopefully some time later we can collaborate.

I believe this should be safely closed with the new editor implementation.

The current implementation matches the best case scenario Jessica described based on my understanding! The resize handle persists until the user clicks away.

Looks like it fits the bill to me! Closing as completed.
