Image displayed incorrectly when using alt text

[fryuni]

Steps to reproduce

• Add an image to the Vault
• Embed that image in a markdown file using the `![[filename]]`, image shows up correctly with the width maxed out to the text area
• Add an alt text with `![[filename|alt text]]`, image shows up with original resolution, overflowing the viewport

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Yes, happens on sandbox vault

Expected result

The image should be displayed with the same size as without the alt text, but with the text underneath it.

Actual result

Additional information

The source code of file in the screenshot is this:

![[Marco Zero de Pernambuco-1767484471277.webp|Antigamente]]

![[Marco Zero de Pernambuco-1767484471277.webp]]

![[Marco Zero de Pernambuco-1767484759024.webp]]

The two images at the top are the same file, so it is not a matter of some problem on the file which is what I spent quite a while trying to debug.

In my main vault and the Sandbox vault, Obsidian doesn’t display/render any alt text for images. e.g.

![[hippo.jpg|hippo]]

![[hippo.jpg]]

Displaying a caption pulled from the alt text could be coming from a community plugin still enabled or not property unloaded.

I encountered the exact same issue. I managed to fix it by disabling the ‘Image Converter’ community plugin.
It seems like plugins that force-resize images are often the main cause of this problem.

Thanks.

My feeling was that the OP (original poster) still had a community plugin active causing the issue.

edit: I’m going to move this to Help for now.
