Some of the lazy loaded images in "The Conversation" are not shown unless the whole article has been scrolled before entering reader view #850

Many articles in this scientific news site exhibit this behavior: in-content lazy-loaded images within the articles, below the hero header image (a.k.a. below the "fold"), some content images do not show up in Reader view, unless you scrolled through the page's contents to force loading them before entering reader view.

Here are some example articles, as the behavior varies quite a bit from one article to the next:

  1. Article 221954 (on unaffordable housing) : there are two photos inside the contents of the article, none of them show up in reader view until you have scrolled through them
  2. Article 224832 (on natural ecosystems) also has two photos in the article's contents; the first photo (strawberries) shows up in Reader view even if you enter the view without scrolling first, but the second photo (bumblebee and purple/blue flowers) only shows up in Reader view if you had scrolled to it first.
  3. Article 208352 (on business school education) load all their images in Reader mode even without scrolling.
  4. Article 209832 (on AirBnB and gentrification) loads its first two images, but not the third one

I have tested these on Firefox 123's built-in Reader view, and in Epiphany 45's (WebKitGTK) reader view; both behave the same.
