      Hope this helps.

      1. I’m browsing like this (Compact mode?):

      1. I click the thumbnail of the top image post. A blank screen loads but no image:

      1. I click on the screen, which takes me back to browsing. The post shows as read:

      1. I click the same thumbnail again and the image loads successfully:

      This happens with almost every image, but not all. Maybe 90%?

      I have the same issue, hard to take a picture of a blank screen so I’ll try and be specific with steps to reproduce

      I’m using small cards. Click on an image on the right side of a small card

      Expected result the image opens up, I can swipe to close it.

      Actual result screen is black sometimes with a loading icon. It stays this way indefinitely. Closing the image and clicking it again let’s it display as expected

      This scenario has happened to me, too, so many times:

      1. I get the black screen so I wait between 1 and 10 seconds for it to load.
      2. Give up and press back.
      3. Immediately tap the thumbnail again, and then the image instantly appears.

      I wait a random number of seconds each time, so it’d be a really funny coincidence if the image finished loading exactly when I give up every time.

      I do have slow cell service in certain locations, so sometimes the image is just slow to load, I’m sure. But the timing of the image finally appearing in step 3 above is too precise to be a coincidence the number of times it’s happened.

      Edit: since writing this comment, every image I’ve tapped gives the black loading screen and I haven’t waited even 1 second before tapping back and tapping the thumbnail again, and then the image immediately loads.

        That’s the exact behavior I get as well. As soon as I hit back the image flashes for a split second.

          Turns out it happens every time on the current version, but I was having the black screen problem on the last version, too.

          Oh, I’ve seen that behavior only one time the other day. Maybe the black overlay is taken away a split second before the image itself is. On my phone that usually doesn’t happen. Tapping the Android back button simply goes back to the list.

          I think you said you tap the screen itself to cancel. I’ll try that. Nope, wasn’t you. You said you use the back button as well.
