UX Comment:

Confirmed the bug exists as described.

Current implementation doesn't match design;
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Qrd4Flfs3EH-fI79IfrYgLdAx2nce-L7ve8NKLCX324/edit#slide=id.g2b64bc8c2_27

However - this bug highlights a valid use case/ set of user expectations, I would recommend we revise old designs for this and introduce the following contextual options for images placed within sites:
- Open
- Open in new tab
- Copy image (copies the image itself, not the image URL)
- Copy image address
- Save image

And the following contextual options for images viewed in isolation:
- Copy image (copies the image itself, not the image URL)
- Copy image address
- Save image
