Wait, so to be clear, you are not on a user profile screen, and you are not on a screen that’s connected to the user table correct? And because of that, your image component is retrieving the image from the user profile? If that’s the case, I don’t know if I would consider that a bug or not. I would imagine that the User Profile option is mostly meant for retrieval of values. Not for updates…although I think you can do updates directly through the user profile in other cases.
I’m guessing you just hit a scenario that has never been considered.
