Make Image Zoom optional
under review
David Schultz
It appears that any image added to an article will be configured so that when the user hovers their mouse over the image, the cursor becomes a magnifying glass and they can click to zoom in on it. This is fine most of the time, but I wish I could disable this for certain images. For example, I have an article with tabs, and I want to include a little icon in the tab label. I edited the HTML for the tab and added an img tag, and it displays it, but when I hover over the icon in the reader interface, I get the zoom option. If a reader were to click on this icon, then instead of selecting the tab, it would just zoom the icon.
There could be other cases where I don't want the zoom option for an image: e.g. if I use an image in a button or a link, or whenever the image is a little icon/decoration, and there's just isn't a need for the user to zoom it.

Hi David - Thank you for pointing this out. I understand that the zoom functionality for images is causing issues in specific cases, such as small icons or images used in tabs, buttons, or links. This is currently the default behavior of the library we are using.
We will work with the team to customize this functionality where appropriate and explore if it can be addressed as a quick win. I’ll keep you updated on the progress and provide an ETA once finalized.
