@bondydaa FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

[m-natarajan]

We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsb

[neil-marcellini]

I'm 90% sure this is not a backend deploy blocker

[bernhardoj]

It's from #42174 where we don't scale the image to fit the screen anymore (except bigger image than the screen).

cc @samilabud @arosiclair @eVoloshchak can you take a look and confirm if this was from your PR?

Confirmed!

what should the expected behavior? most of the time images that are smaller than the container are pixelated, hence the origin of the change.

[arosiclair]

This should be expected behavior now. We're no longer scaling up small images automatically (you can still pinch to zoom though).

[bondydaa]

ah coolio @m-natarajan please make a note this is now expected behavior.
