thank you pnewcomb, I completely agree and don’t understand either.

Why is this constantly overlooked in the wordpress updates? is it an integral pb with chrome or something that could easily be resolved?

I really wish this could be addressed as I’ve read many other threads with people complaining about it and personally I’m sick of being forced to keep using Firefox.

Thanks for the suggestion Ipstenu, however I work more with images found on the web and downloading the image in order to adjust the dimensions seems more like a complication really.

Just to be clear, this is what it looks like on firefox:

– you can see the little nodes on the corners and half-way points where one can click-and-drag in order to resize.

on chrome however, when you click the image all you get is this:
https://postimage.org/image/avinnli4n/

I understand there are ways around this problem, like using an image editor and resizing it on my computer – but this only complicates the process. Most of the time I want to work solely on the web and not have to download the images on my laptop (these are not my images and I do not own them – it’s mainly for showcasing other people’s work).

Thanks for the help!

right, I know that, but it’s really not practical. When you’re working with pictures of different original sizes you can’t constantly be predetermining sizes.

What I mean is: for my blog I need 640px-wide images. But I can’t always guess the height corresponding to this width. And it’s extremely easier to just drag the corner to 640px in width, and the height is automatically adjusted.

I just don’t understand why FF has this ability and Chrome does not.
