**Once you’ve done the above, delete everything above this line.**

### Steps to reproduce

1. Add an image file to your vault if not already
2. Create a callout of any type in any note
3. Embed the previously discussed image in the callout

```md
> [!failure]
> ![[image.png]]

```

### Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/ ~~N~~]

Please, follow the [Troubleshooting Guide](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/about-the-bug-reports-category/24/11) before answering Yes.

### Expected result

The image should render without adding a scrollbar to the callout (just like demonstrated with an _external_ image, to which this bug does not apply).

### Actual result

The embedded image has 3px padding on both the right and bottom, giving the callout a scrollbar to scroll left and right.
