Observed:

@jwilander @marianunez @hmhealey @streamer45 wondering if this is a known issue, or maybe something that’s very difficult to fix?

Posted a week ago.

Seems embarrassing to me. Post preview has one job, and it’s not doing its job.

@it33_mattermost there’s a ticket on this yes:  
[https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-57079](https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-57079)

It shouldn’t be difficult, its just that priorities are different, but I can definitely have a look at it.
