Embedding pictures got worse!

In changing the design of this forum the way to embed (not attach) picture was dramatically change ti the worse.

Before the change we could see the pic in the editor window and were able to resize it (not the silly large, medium,small option) using the mouse.

Now the picture is not shown in the editor window at all (just the file name) and it looks like we cannot scale it anymore. This was an important feature when embedding screenshots made from a 4K display.

We also don't get a preview of the picture before we chose to add it in the text as we got used to.

Even worse when I open aa already sent post to re-edit it, there is no reference to an embedded picture in the edit window at all. How am I supposed to rearrange or delete an already embedded picture??

 

Please reenable the old behaviour - it was far away from being comfortable, but the new way is inferior worse.

    I'd like to add that the pop-up window for inserting a picture is far too large. On my display the closing/acceptance button is below the lower limit of the screen.

    Why can't we just cut a picture to the windows clip-board and paste it into the message?

    (Just noticed that Doug also complains about the size of the pop-up here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Community-Feedback/New-Menu-Error-message/td-p/541683/jump-to/first-unread-message )

    Cut and paste is beyond Lithium's capabilities! But they are trying to get to the 1990's.
