shrinking images in error output w/out indicator is confusing

This error message

![Uploading image.png…]()

is really hard to understand because it is unexpected. I was expecting the value to be a list, not an image. Furthermore, the image I was expecting was about 10x larger. Unless I hover I don't see the magnifying icon, so I don't even know that I can enlarge it. Once I enlarge it, of course, I immediately know what the problem is. But it took me a moment to even realize that an image had ended up where a list should have been.

Note to self: if you accidentally mix up on-tick and to-draw, … good luck.

Your demonstration image didn't upload, so it's hard to know what you saw. We've been over the UI for enlargeable images several times, so once again:

• we do not want anything obscuring the snapshot, so a permanent icon-in-the-corner didn't work
• we settled on having a drop-shadow surrounding the image, that no image function could produce natively, as the permanent indicator that the image is clickable, or at the very least, somewhat special.

Until someone has a concrete proposal for a better UI, merely rehashing "I didn't realize it" isn't productive commentary, though...
