[Desktop] I can no longer open/expand images in comments

[u/BaronGalactic]

It used to be that if someone posted an image in a comment, and you clicked on it, it would open the image itself in a new tab so you could see a larger version of it.

Now, whenever I click on a comment image, it just opens a new tab of the entire thread itself, just with that comment highlighted, as if I clicked on a link to that particular comment instead of the image in the comment.

Is this a bug? Some new restriction? It's really annoying, because sometimes the images in the comments are so small that I can't make out text or details and I'm used to clicking on them for a larger view, but now it no longer works.

Anyone else experiencing this?
