Summary

When working with images in the Confluence Cloud editor, the image context menu (alignment and size options) becomes unexpectedly greyed out when the browser window is resized, even though the image itself could still be resized or realigned within the new viewport. This behaviour is confusing and does not clearly reflect the real constraints that are in effect (page width vs. browser/viewport width).

Current Behaviour

1. Insert an image with a reasonable width on a Confluence page.

1. Click the image to open the image context menu (alignment and size controls).

1. Ensure all options are active.

1. Keep the context menu open and:

• • Reduce the browser window width (or

• • Increase the browser window width, depending on where you start).

Observed:

• As the browser window is resized, the image reflows within the available content column.

• At certain browser widths, the image context menu options (e.g. alignment, size presets) become greyed out, even if:

• • The image is not yet at the maximum possible width of the page/content column, or

• • The user would logically expect to still be able to change alignment/size.

• This greying-out happens without any explicit explanation in the UI and appears to be directly tied to viewport changes rather than to clear, editor-level constraints.

Expected Behaviour

1. The state of the image context menu (enabled vs. disabled options) should reflect editor/page constraints, not arbitrary viewport side-effects.

1. Resizing the browser window should:

• • Reflow the content responsively, but

• • Not silently disable image options

1. If options must be disabled due to a real constraint (page layout, column width, responsive breakpoint), the UI should:

• • Either keep options active 

• • Provide clear feedback/tooltips explaining why the option is disabled (e.g. “Image is already at maximum width for this column at the current screen size”).
