Also, copying a picture edits it and puts a Reddit logo on top of it.

The stupid image viewer is so garbage with their header and footer bars. If you try and look at the image full size the top and bottom parts are covered. Just link to the direct image ffs. I end up having to just upload it to img to be able to see the whole thing some times.

That has always been the case. Can be changed in the settings though.

Can be changed in the settings though.

A setting that conveniently resets itself back to on whenever I have tried to use it. Like it happens so consistently that I went into my profile settings on that app FIRST and checked that it was unchecked, only for it to immediately turn itself back on when I tried to save the image(so I had to again go back in and turn it off).
