I recommend that Pau look into an alternative design along those lines, create a quick prototype and discuss it with users
I've just created a very basic CSS override. I added instructions on how to try it on the mingle card comments https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/cards/697 with an existing test account, but you can also add the following CSS to your common.css: .mw-mmv-image-wrapper, .mw-mmv-post-image{ position:initial; }
Even though there are details to polish to be called a prototype, my initial impression is that it does not feel as good as our current approach, but feel free to provide any feedback.
This seems like the kind of thing to throw a few quick hallway tests at.
Yes. If someone provides me with the JS snippet to be added to common.js, setting this up and testing should be really fast. If this the JS is more complex than it seems, I can also create a quick prototype.

One additional point: Right now I can press Page-_Down_, or Scroll-_Down_, but have to press Arrow-_Up_. I fail to see how this is logically consistent with a single mental model.
Making both work might make sense, though honestly I'd be surprised if users actually try to press Arrow-Up to see the panel.
