[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 8151850, member: 120820"]Thanks, Sky - good to know! I've also just discovered a rather bizarre workaround for Chrome on Linux (a bug, perhaps?) - I'd be curious if this also works for Chrome on other operating systems too. 1) Open this eBay item in Chrome [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/125081018509[/URL] The coin image should be large and clicking on it does nothing (mouse cursor is arrow). This is the normal SNAFU page state. 2) Right click on the image, select "Inspect", then immediately click on the "x" in top right corner of the inspect window to close it again! Some magic has just happened ... 3) Click on the circular-arrow page-refresh button at browser top left The page refreshes, but now looks different! Coin image is small and now clickable! (mouse cursor is hand). Clicking on coin brings up full-screen image where "Save Image as ..." now works. Now close the full screen image by clicking "x". 4) Refresh page again, as above The page refreshes, but has now gone back to how it started off with the large non-clickable coin image! The magic has been undone! If you want to get back to the small clickable image then repeat steps 2) and 3). Here's how the page looks before and after the "magic". Weird, eh ?!
