******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Capture a screen; save as GIF on Desktop.
2. In RH, insert GIF into a topic.
3. Insert GIF into a second topic.
4. Recapture the screen from Step 1 (due to product change,
screen content and size changed). Save capture as GIF to Desktop
with same name as before (overwriting prior image of same name).
5. In RH, return to first topic and double-click the image
in the topic. In the image file path, point to newer image on
Desktop and click OK. Confirm overwrite wihen prompted.
Expected results: I expected RH to insert the newer image
into the second topic and update image size.
Results: RH did insert the newer image into the second topic
but RH did not update image size.

Hello Gunslinger -
That is not a bug and it is operating correctly. Here is why
(example)...
You insert an image of size "640x480" in topic one and RH
saves the image into the project folder and writes the proper topic
one HTML such as:
<p><img src="IMG_1129.jpg"
x-maintain-ratio=TRUE
style="border: none;
width: 640px;
height: 480px;
float: none;
border-style: none;"
width=640
height=480
border=0></p>
You repeat the steps above on topic two and the HTML is
writen:
<p><img src="IMG_1129.jpg"
x-maintain-ratio=TRUE
style="border: none;
width: 640px;
height: 480px;
float: none;
border-style: none;"
width=640
height=480
border=0></p>
Now you resize the image, return to RH and insert the resized
image into topic one and the HTML is written:
<p><img src="IMG_1129.jpg"
x-maintain-ratio=TRUE
style="border: none;
width: 320px;
height: 240px;
float: none;
border-style: none;"
width=320
height=240
border=0></p>
BUT the SECOND topic still has the previous size specified
(640x480). Size is written when inserted, not from the image
property when the project is enerated.
You need to delete the second topic image and re-insert with
the new size image, then all will be well.
