@bluefuton thoughts so far?

[bluefuton]

@bluefuton yes I can do that.

I noticed it's in production too: https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/159889361/posts/760

What is the preferred Automattic process to proceed with a production fix?

Do you normally check if someone has raised an issue first and see if anyone is working on it?

@tophertoy it's usually best to check for similar issues in the repo first, and then go ahead and create a PR if it isn't actively being worked on. In the case of Reader, you're generally good to go, because it's only receiving basic maintenance.

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I think we should adjust the display of images specifically in the new posts block so they appear consistently. In particular:

• the image should not be taller than the current row
• alignment of the image should be consistent on every row

I'm going to close this out, but please feel free to start a new PR with additional visual improvements based on the latest trunk. Apologies it took so long for us to get back to this!
