In a post, I'm prompted to upload the media in question and then to select and paste it. However, in comments, I don't get prompted. It only pastes ![](https). I don't know how I am supposed to know the link and hash to a piece of media that I haven't been prompted for to upload yet. 🥺

Huh. Seems like a bug... If I refresh the page a lot of times, sometimes the button works, sometimes it doesn't. I've attached a screenshot of the browser's developer console. Let's see if that image loads. It says "image button not found".

Maybe some race condition between the separate parts of the JavaScript?

That sounds likely. Maybe downarea.js needs to load before media_library.js

Thank you for investigating! 😊 I wish I understood JavaScript better so that I could help...
