Q: safari distorts image in LinkedIn news feed when opening to enlarge

When I am in the News Feed section of LinkedIn and click on an image that has been posted, I get a distorted image (larger, but wider and distorted). I thought the problem was a LinkedIn problem, until I successfully opened the image in Firefox with no resultant distortion. If I stay in Safari and instead of just clicking on the photo...I use the control button and click on the image, selecting "open image in new window", the image is fine. Does anyone know if there is a setting in Safari that will enable me to accomplish this without having to manually select "open image in new window". I have an iMac running Yosemite and Safari is version 9.1

Thanks to all who help!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

    Hello scottkb2000,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    I understand images on a specific site are not loading properly in Safari on your Mac.  Since you have already isolated this issue to Safari, I suggest that you run through the steps outlined below.

     

    Check Safari extensions

    Some Safari extensions that block ads or other website content can prevent some page elements from displaying. You can temporarily turn off extensions, then re-load the page to see if this is the issue.

    1. Choose Safari > Preferences.
    2. Click Extensions.
    3. Select an extension, then deselect the checkbox "Enable… extension." Repeat this step for every extension that's currently installed.

    Reload the page by choosing Choose View > Reload in Safari. If the webpage loads correctly, one or more extensions was blocking the content from loading. Re-enable an extension, then reload the page again to determine which extension is blocking the content you want to view.

    If the website still doesn't load with all of your extensions disabled, try the next steps in this article.

    If Safari doesn't load pages from a specific site

    If only one webpage or website isn't working, you can remove data related to that site to see if it fixes the issue. Use these steps to remove cookies, cache, and other data stored by Safari for a specific site:

    1. Choose Safari > Preferences.
    2. Click the Privacy icon.
    3. Click the Details button.
    4. Search for the name or domain of the website whose data you want to remove.
    5. In the results list, click the domain (like example.com) that has data you want to remove.
    6. Click Remove.
    7. When you're finished, click Done and close the preferences window.

        remove history, cookies, cache, website data, for a specific site

    If you used the Private Browsing feature of Safari when visiting a website, you might not see the site listed here. 

    If Safari doesn‘t load a page or webpage items are missing

     

    Take care.

    Alex...thanks...followed your directions and removed LinkedIn data. Now the image won't even load when clicked on...spins and spins.

    Closed browser and tried again. Some images on the news feed in LinkedIn open successfully and some open distorted. This makes me think there is a specific problem that LinkedIn (not other site) has with the Safari browser under certain conditions.
