This is not na issue - rather an improvement .
We should show other images in offline mode at all. There should be just one single picture without the gallery at all (as it was prior to 1.8)

We do have the same behavior with online mode / placeholder is not visible while picture is being loded

We should keep only one single picture in the offline mode without the Gallery component at all.

@przspa please take a look if your component is used here. Also in offline mode there should not be zoom option.

Hello, could you please explain why ?
In a flaky connection, (talking about being in transports with online/offline switching) when using site you're viewing gallery component with vue carousel slider and images; suddenly, you're offline and switched to a single image where client already downloaded images; then you come back online and get the carousel back again.
Isn't it confusing for the end user ?

Why not showing placeholder images for non-previously-loaded images ? keeping the experience the same ?

It was done on purpose. If we don;'t have the images (offline mode) it makes a little sense for the user to show the gallery - it's pretty much frustrating to swipe off empty placeholders in the end
