The images in the table do show now, but they're expanding out of the table and covering text

MODERATORS
Welcome to possibly the last major release of the year! As the end of the year approaches, I am planning on taking a short break from developing Summit in favor of going out more and also catching up on some video games.
This update refreshes the layouts of the various card layouts in the app. It aims to make distinguishing between different cards easier and also improving the general look of things.
This update also fixes various bugs as well.
As this update changes the UI of the app, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the changes. Of course if you have feedback about the UI in any part of the app please feel free to post those too!
Full Changelog
- Updated designs for layouts Card, Card 2 and Card3.
- Fixed a bug where images within tables do not load.
- Fixed a bug where post data does not update after a comment is posted.
- Fixed a bug where post content will sometimes flicker even if nothing has changed.
- Fixed a bug where the shadows of the card layouts were cropped.
- Added a button to the image viewer. If the image being viewed has a higher quality alternative, a HD button will be visible allowing the user to view the alternative image.
- Added a setting for card layouts to control the amount of horizontal margin.
- Fixed a bug where images in a table will not cause the table to resize once loaded.
- Changed the behavior of the image viewer. If a higher resolution of an image is available when an image is previewed, the image viewer will automatically download and view the higher resolution image.
- Changed the behavior of the image viewer. When toggling between a preview and the HD image, the image viewer will remember and restore the zoom level and scroll position.
Very minor Try loading this table on the latest version of the app!

Update 3
More changes coming through. The following changes will be available on v1.49.3:
- Fixed a bug where images in a table will not cause the table to resize once loaded.
- Changed the behavior of the image viewer. If a higher resolution of an image is available when an image is previewed, the image viewer will automatically download and view the higher resolution image.

Update 4
Doing an emergency release as the preview release broken image viewing when viewing an image without an alternative source (eg. HD version). This will be released as v1.49.4.
Update 5
Got a bug report regarding error messages when loading certain images. Will push out a release to fix this (v1.49.5).
- Fixed a bug where sometimes an error message is shown when loading an image even though the image loads.
Thank you for reporting this issue! Will look into this for the follow up update.
Thank you for your amazing work and contributions. The new update looks fresh. Two suggestions I have:
- Make the pill/notifications text white or black depending on the displayed background.
- Make the padding on the side (at least) adjustable. With card style 2 and the new layout I lose a lot of horizontal width.
Loving this app! Keep it up
Make the pill/notifications text white or black depending on the displayed background.
I assume you mean the "Snack bar" (it appears on the bottom). The snack bar already is colored based on the theme. It's light colored when a dark theme is used and it's dark when a light theme is used. It's this way for contrast.
Interesting! When I call with someone on telegram I see it change based on a light/dark background. But I dont know how it's controlled so maybe it's not easy to make it dynamically change. Not a big thing. Thanks for the explanation!
Edit: I'm blind, the snack bar/pill already does change dynamically!
Will add a setting to control the horizontal margins.
When opening an image directly from the main scroll, it uses the lower resolution copy and only gets the full resolution opening the post (I think...).
Can we get an option to always open the highest quality?
Thanks for the frequent updates!
I am adding this feature and also setting this as the default behavior on the next update.
Most excellent! Thank you!
This app has improved a lot, visually and in usability, good work.
I hope you can add a minor "tweak" in the next releases, when making a comment (a post possibly too) the keyboard won't pop-up automatically, you need to press it to raise it.
I do not remember if that has always been the case with this client, but just letting you know.
Enjoy your break!
Absolutely love the new interface changes! Thank you!
I am on 1.49.5 but sometimes have a very weird problem with the preview of a webpage in the post. With this it is reproducible: https://programming.dev/post/23228069
When i click on this post in my feed, it opens and very briefly displays the google logo in the post. So it is only a split second there and this happens every time I open the post again. I assume it is some weird behavior with the link preview?
Edit: nothing major or blocker, just weird
