After clicking on Generic Camera integration image, image too small

[mkanet]

The problem

When I used to click on a "generic camera" integration image on my Home Assistant webpage, the original native image size (1920x1080p) would be displayed ...taking up most of the web browser's screen (which is exactly what I want; and, very useful).

However, something changed in Home Assistant (about 5-6 months) that when I click on the image, it now displays a very small (scaled down) image; requiring me to manually zoom the entire web browser's webpage every time to see all the small text and other details in the image. When I asked on the forums about this issue, other users also confirmed they also have the same problem.

I already checked the documentation: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic/ to see if there is a new setting to control default image size (when clicked); however, I didn't find any settings for this. I am guessing this is most likely a bug that was accidentally introduced a little while back?

Anyway, is there a way I revert "generic camera" integration back to original behavior? It isn't very useful currently.

See below screenshot, generic camera image is too small after I click it. Its native image resolution is 1920x1080; which should take most of the web browser screen area after it is clicked.

Confirmed and can reproduce this.

Repro steps:

• Add generic camera.
• Paste https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/False_Creek_Blue_Hour.jpg/1280px-False_Creek_Blue_Hour.jpg into still image box. Leave other boxes blank.
• Click ok and complete the setup
• Click on the camera in the integrations page to view the image.

Expected result
Image is big or has a maximise button

Actual result
Image is small

@davet2001 or anyone, is this something that can be fixed in the next update?

Until then, could you please suggest a temporary solution to display the native image size when it's clicked? I can download the folder below:

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/generic

...and make a change to one of the source files and place the folder under:

\config\custom_components

I did a bit of playing around with this, and found that I can get the image to maximise in my browser by clicking the text of the title on the pop-up.

Does that work in your case? If it does, it's a temporary solution, but probably needs a tweak to the UI to make it more obvious

Thank you so much for the tip. It does work for me. Yes, a tweak to the UI to make it more obvious would be great.
