Is there way to lock the aspect ratio of an image you paste into a user module? I kept thinking some key combination would work, e.g., Ctrl + dragging the edges, but it doesn't.
 
No, unfortunately the underlying HTML editing control doesn't support that. I looked into it and wasn't able to find a flag to set that. It is possible to go into the code editor after you resize it and remove the height from the image tag, and that will cause the image to be shown with the correct aspect ratio.

Even that is a good thing, and – if I can remember it – I'll plan to use it.

I had a bunch of trouble today trying to size some pasted images. I found that the farther I took the cursor away from the image (while holding a "pseudo-click" on the track pad), the more control I had. Nonetheless, I got something close to what I wanted. I'm just glad I can paste images into user modules. Thanks for that major feature!

Please forgive me here. Does this still stand? No way to lock image aspect ratios? Trying to get around the running of "Style and Format Cleaner" changing the final product in my entry. The best habit would be to do all editing and resize "last". Are there other options since this post?
 
No, sorry. The underlying editor control SwordSearcher uses for live editing user module entries doesn't support locking the aspect ratio while resizing an image with the mouse.
 
Thank you. I will continue with my code (width="25%"/) and make a note of "DO NOT RUN STYLE AND FORMAT CLEANER" after getting images sized as I want them. From here on out I know what to do. Thanks again.
