No Editing possible with Live Preview of Images on Android makes

Steps to reproduce

  • Embed an Image to the first line of a note using
    ![[xxx.jpg] ] (or HTML)
    Without size options (full Width)
    Write words in the line below the image
  • in editing mode: try to edit the code/filename
  • try to insert/write Text above the image

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

Happens in a New vault without addons

Expected result

In edit mode I would expect to easily (maybe always) See the code of the image

I would expect to see the code when i tap the image.

I like the idea of “live-preview” for images and dont want to turn that off (just code then). The Live Preview works well in desktop (arrow keys hell, im not sure about the preview behaviour right now, but it just works)

If Theres an empty line below the image i can tap There and the code of the image Pops up above the image and its editable. This wont work if Theres words in that line.

Actual result

As i tap the image i See the image in another view (I dont know why this happens in edit mode at all, its something i would expect in view mode)

When i tap again i exit the “imageviewer” but i still just see the image, no code.

I cant edit the code of the image.
I cant tap anywhere to write/insert Text in Front of the image because the image starts in the very top left corner, leaving no space to tap in Front of it

When the line below the image is filled with words the code wont pop up when i tap the first Character ay the first word will be selected.
even when I manually move the cursor to the first character (keyboard Functions) the code wont pop up.

On iOS, even this doesn’t work for me. If I tap the correct part of the bottom of the image I can get the code to appear, but it’s hard to do consistently. I switch to Source Mode when I need to access the code, because there’s no easy way I know of in Live Preview.
